Couple questions about lifting

[Dark_StRanger]

I got a 91 ranger xlt spr cab 2wd with a 3in block lift in the back, i wanna now level out my truck in the front to make room for 31x10.50's which leads to my questions;

1 would it be easier to throw lift springs or f150 spring in instead of coil spacers?

2 i know it might compromise my alignment, does anyone know any good off road shops in the boston, ma area?

3 will i need to extend my brake lines, sway bar links, etc.


thanks for the help

1.http://www.therangerstation.com/Magazine/Fall2003/F-150_coils_for_your_V8_BII_or_Ranger.htm

2.The alignment doesn't matter. As long as you don't move the tie-rod ends, you will be fine. You should have the twin I-beam set-up in the front. Very strong, but your camber is set, can't be adjusted. It's built into the I-beam's design. The only way around it is to get a 2WD front lift kit, this will lift the whole I-beam assembly altogether.
I think the overall lift with the F-150 swap is over 3 inches.

3. Brake lines, most likely. Sway bar, not sure, You might be OK, but positive. Might even need longer shocks.
