I have a stock 1993 ford ranger. Step side. 4x4 how big of a lift do I need to go to clear 35s with minimal to no rubbing
 
I have a 93 single cab flareside (Fords name for stepside) Splash. I’m running 35-12.50/15 BFG mud Terrains on 15x10 wheels. 6” Skyjacker lift and mild front fender trimming. Occasionally rub on plastic fender liner. Rear fits with no problem.

here is what it looked like right after the installation.

how do u like the skyjacker. My old truck was rough country trying to decide between bds and skyjacker for this one
 
You are unlikely to find anyone here with bad things to say about the Skyjacker lift for TTB. It's pretty popular.
 
For the TTB generations, James Duff and Skyjacker are the best choices.
 
Are the monotube shocks good or should I upgrade to the reservoir looking to do a little offroading
I’m still running the monotube shocks that came from Skyjacker. Don’t remember which model shocks I ordered. There were 3 or 4 or 5 choices. I didn’t get the cheapest or the most expensive. Haven’ replaced them yet. But I’m considering new shocks before I go to Colorado in August. It has seen some fairly serious rock crawling.

From my understanding, reservoir shocks are more for higher speed driving where the suspension does a lot of cycling, like a dirt road with a lot of corregations as an example.

For slow speed trail riding and rock crawling, they really aren't needed. It won't hurt anything to have them but will be extra expense and now you have something extra to inspect since the brackets and mounts for the reservoirs sometimes fail.
 
I would prefer adjustable valving. When rock crawling, I would like a softer compression and slower rebound.
 
Same truck regular bed and I clear 31" easily no lift. I did add a leveling kit up front for extra clearance. You can probably squeeze 35" w/ a 4" lift, but I would go 6" to clear em nice. and definitely re gear. My 4.0 is a pig w just heavier LT rated 31"s stock 3.73 gearing. Also first gear is taller than Id like. clutch fully out idle is like 7mph.
