Installing 3'' BL on my 99 2wd

[Dep. Ranger]

Hey Guys,
I have decided to post some pics of my 99 Ranger XLT 3.0L 5sp. Here are some photos of my truck now. Everything is pretty much stock with P235-75-R15. I am going to install a 3 inch Body Lift in one week.

I will post some progress pics in about a week to show you all the finished product. Hope you all like it.

Good luck!

What are you going to do for tires? Those ones on there right now will look small!

I would like to sell them, but I might just end up waiting until I need new ones. I plan on putting 31s on with the lift. Do you think I could sell them on here?

if you have 3.73 gear ratio in that...stick on some 31s...or re-gear and stick on 32s...that truck will look evan more bad ass than it is now!

I am going to move the front bumper up this weekend.

how hard was it to put one of this kits on and about how long does it take.

Well I bought the Performance Accessories 3'' Body Lift Kit. The kit was amazing, because all the parts were well built. The only thing is that their directions kinda sucked, but if you go to the thread on this website (RangerStation) it will help you out alot. The install took about 2 four to five hour afternoons. If you plan on doing this kit, I would suggest that a few days before you do the lift you loosen the bolts and spray some WD40 on the bolts. This will make you life so much easier. I would recommend doing this lift.

How are you going to move the bull bar up after you move the bumper up, it might look weird, it being lower?

i have not figured out the answer to that question yet... i am not knowledgable with the whole welding thing. the brackets mount to my frame right now. do you have any suggestions on how to move it up??? your advice is much needed, because i don't want to take off the bar
