frontend lift 2002

[mulishiaranger]

On my 02 Ranger, 4x4, i want some more height out of it. I got rid of the rake by cranking the T-bars a bit... I'm pretty sure i'll rock the explorer leafs, with the Chevy shackles, and from what i understand that'll give me 2" or some... now what can i do to lift the front? Do they make the lifted spindle for the 4x4? i don't want to crank my t bars anymore...

Like stated before I've seen lift spindles for 4x4 rangers you just gunna have to search for them, if you can't find anything superlift or RCD has lifts for your truck

I've never heard of lift spindles for a 4x4, only 4x2. Torsion bar crank is good for 1.5", 2" at most. After that you're looking at either the Superlift kit ($1500 + install) or a body lift ($200-$300 + install).
The deal on 98+ Rangers is that they are cheap to lift a little and expensive to lift a lot.

I'm saving up for the Superlift. I'm in no hurry and I think it will be better in the long run.

Both rcd and superlift utilize lift spindles in their kits its just rare to find a pair by themselves or find a company that makes them, a couple of years ago there when I was doing the lift on my truck I ran into a few different pairs of them but can no longer seem to find anything

ok you can not use spindles on a 4x4 unless you are makeing it a 2wd....... theres an axle in the way.....so ya..... but for the front on the 98+ the only way to lift it is drop the axle and everthing else upfront..... the easiest way is one of the kits or to make a homemade cope of them but not recommended....or to do a SAS....... if you want 3inch lift you could buy the replacement keys but you will go through balljoints like crazy.........
