Like new 99 ranger prerunner project

[99RangerPrerunner]

Hello fellow ranger owners! My name is Luke and im a freshmen in college in southern california. Ive grown up around cars and always loved off roading in my dads old bronco. Since i spent all my graduation money buying a 1999 ford ranger flex fuel v6 with only 50k miles on it the first thing that came to mind....prerunner here i come!

I hope that since joining this site can i not only gain some knowledge how to do things the right way but eventually go out to meets and have some fun in the desert!

The first thing i want to do is put a nice lift on it so i can put some 33 pro comp tires i have waiting in my garage.

IF ANYONE has some input on a cheap easy way to get atleast 4 in of lift let me know, i know theres body lifts and tortion bar adjusting and suspension lifts...but with a part time job, money is tight lol

4x4 or 4x2?

If you're jumpig your shi* it's not a great idea to run a body lift.

Cranking the t bars wouldn't be the best idea either for jumping and with a stiff front end you're not going to want to be rhomping through the desert at 105 mph.

A few companys sell long travel kits for the front but they're quite pricey. A few are built for 4x4 long travel which is sick.

Either way, building for speed and travel gets rather expensive rather quickly.

when i get a better job and make more money ill start going for travel kits and such so i can jump the truck, as for now i just want to get that prerunner look going
