I have a suspension lift on my 2wd 01 ranger. 4 inch in front and 2 in back, spindle and shackle. I would like to know, if I were to do a 3 inch body lift so I can fit 33's or 35's, what should I need to prepare for as far as extending brake lines or steering column length and any other advice you may have
 
A body lift does just the body and the bed, and does not affect suspension or brake lines.

If you get a Performance Accessories body lift kit, it should have everything you need to do this mod, as opposed to buying or building everything separately.

In the kit, you'll have longer grade 8 bolts-washers-nuts, 3" polyurethane blocks, steering extension, radiator drop brackets, E-brake bracket, and 2 front and 2 rear bumper lift brackets. It looks absolutely retarded when people don't relocate their bumpers.

The lift can be done in half a day, and get a buddy to help. Take your time, get a long 2x4 or handle or something to lever the body off the frame.

Youtube some videos. They are everywhere.

+1 on the retardation of not lifting bumpers. Or would it be -1?

Do your body lift properly. A lot of us have learned that we wished we would have spent a little bit more money and saved a ton of headache :icon_thumby:
 
Definitely a -1 ... per bumper.

I finally saw my first hockey puck body lift last Fall. It wasn't as bad as people have made it out to be. Now, for daily street use, dunno.
 
Thanks guys for the help ive been wondering whether or not I should do it
