My Ranger I bought new in 2005 has just turned 307,000 miles. I'm hearing a noise in the front suspension or possibly drive train after driving a few miles when coming to a stop. No shake or vibration. I've had one ball joint replace about 20,000 mile ago and both wheel bearing assemblies replaced a while back and brakes are nearly new. Since I plan on keeping my Ranger forever, I'm thinking of replacing the whole front suspension and half shafts. I'm looking for recommendations on kits. maybe a leveling kit or small lift a little over the factory FX4 height to later add a larger tire. Maybe point me toward a thread on TRS. Thanks
 
I was able to purchase new lower A arm kit off ebay. Detroit axle brand which so has preformed as good or better than new. Comes with new lower ball joints installed. I purchased a whole kit and got the new axles from Napa. If you like check out this kit that I installed to delete the torsion bars, it really improved the ride, and now with a totally new front end, it actually rides incredibility nice and gained 2 inches on the front leveling the truck.

Here is the link to that ebay purchase.....https://www.ebay.com/itm/163244983033
