I'm new with a lift question

[recneps]

i just bought a 1999 ranger 4x4 xlt supercab everything stock, it has the 4 speed auto trans. and the 4.0 motor.

i want to put a 3" body lift and the biggest tires i can fit.

i'm thinking about 33x12.5s on 15 inch wheels.

please let me know if this is possible.

do i need to adjust gear ratio?

also i want diamond plate bedrail caps and a bug / rock shield.

where can i get this stuff cheap?
i am in yakima, WA
thanks

for the bug guard look in to L.M.C TRUCK they will have it. what gears do you have? 3.73 mostlikely, you will be fine running 33''s you wil lack alittle power, but not to muck. good luck.
