4" superlift VS 3" body lift

[bigpotato555]

I just got a sweet deal on BOTH!!!
I just bought both from a 08 reck at my local scrap yard.....

Now I am wondering which one to install...I don't really want to install both...
I just want to run 33" this is on my 07 level 2 which is my daily driver so...

3" body lift would be good but I will loose my front tow hook and the rear hitch will look akward and I don't have the shifter extension...but it want really change heigh for my plow...

the 4" superlift would be good but I would need a front driveshaft upgrade and two rear shock are bend...plus I am scared for my waranti and I don't really like the t bar drop and not really a fan of rear block had bad experience on the 89...and it will **** the heigh for my plow...

Anyway would like you guy comment on this...

jeez, man, tough spot. how much longer is left on the warranty from the dealer?

 

[07rangerfx4lv2]

If you got a screamin' deal on the Superlift, then go for it. A pair of new rear shocks wouldn't cost that much. Hell man, new that kit goes for around $1800.

haha not that long of a ride...

yeah i know both kit are like for 2000$ over here...you would be shock on the deal I got!

I still have waranty till 2012 on powertrain...worst thing is that my overdrive is grinding a bit...

anyone know of a rbv with flat flange cv front driveshaft that would fit my application...the superlift is 500$

 

[07rangerfx4lv2]

in the states its 1800, ive priced it up here...try about 2700 canadian fack, thats with the new drive shaft and everything tho

I just paid $2246 for every thing ( Kit, Skid Plate, Drive Shaft, Rear Blocks ). But I am waiting on super lift to make more kit boxes, they are all sold out.




I got an 09 and I say **** warranty. If the engine was going to go it would have already and trannys are cheep. And the ranger auto is week, you should have got the Stick. My 91 ranger got 468,XXX on the stick tranny with no problems.

i'd go with the body lift. will work with your plow. won't change your stock handling. you can either fab brackets for the rear bumper or get a custom one made for relatively cheap. and a front bumper as well with tow hooks or big brackets for them coming off the frame.
best part is it should go fairly easily as yours is so new. they are a b***h when the body bolts get old and rusted, and that doesn't take long!! just my $.02

 

[bigpotato555]

I guess I'll still think about...still have until the snow goes away before installing it anyway....what a you guys using for front driveshaft? I would like to use some rbv driveshaft with out cuting....
And I forgot to remove the gas filler extension....what kind of steel is use so that is don't interfer why gas??

Just head over to home depot and get some electrical conduet. You could even just use hose barbs and hose.



I built myself a Superlift shaft using a TTB Ranger front shaft or a 95-97 Expo shaft, shortened it, and used the same adaptor superlift uses. I made that $550 shaft usig BRAND NEW parts for under $300. Can be done using a used shaf for under a grad total of 200 for sure.

anyone know is the skyjacker leaf for the early year ranger would fit my 07?
I don't really want to install the block that came with the lift...had bad experience with the 89

It should fit fine. AFAIK all Ranger leaf springs are the same length eye-to-eye.
