Okay, I'm new to this site too.
But I just put in 2" lift coils in my truck.
The things that I needed were:
1) Extended brake lines
2) Drop brackets
3) New shocks
It's a bit different though, because once they settle down into position I'm going to throw an f150 coil spacer to help align my truck. I couldn't get it in there, because the spring originally gave me about 3.5" of lift. Most likely because my old springs were sagged out, and the new ones hadn't been used before. So now I'm sitting at approximately 2" of lift in the front. But if you plan on lifting your truck at all, I wouldn't waste your time trying to put f150 coils in your truck. They give you about 1.5"-2" of lift, and there's the possibility of having to get new shocks, brake lines, camber bushings or drop brackets. They also don't fit very well into a stock coil bucket. If you don't know a lot about TIB suspension, and you don't have a welder or plasma cutter then your kinda screwed... I would save up and buy a nice lift kit and have a professional install it for you.
My personal recommendation for a cheap lift is to buy f150 coil spacers. It's a perch that your coil will sit on. You can get them at a junkyard easily. I paid $10 for both of mine. There's some stuff about them in the tech library as well. It's the cheapest way to lift the front end of your ranger. You would need camber bushings and possibly extended brake lines and possibly a longer stud to make sure the nut would go back on the stud.
Happy lifting!
