So I have a 97 2wd 2.3 5 speed that I would like to lift to fit some 31 or 33s what can I do to scouted this and give the truck that pre runner/cup truck look can I just replace the stock 2wd with 4wd leads to get the rear lifted?i am a virgin to rangers so I know nothing about them.or is there anyone that makes lifts for these and about what do they cost? Also I have the 2.3 with ahooker header and thrush glass ,i have heard they make turbo kits but can't find anything on them, what can I do to the engine though and is it efi,tbi, or carbed? Where can I find 4 banger parts for it at.thanks fire all the help guys. O also I have acces to 16in travel fox shocks that I would like to use on the truck.
 
Also the transmission is a 5speed so is it a t-5? Thanks for any help guys

look for 80s turbo-coupe T-birds, Merkurs or SVO Mustangs for a turbo 2.3L. It's not really a turbo kit, it's another motor that'll be put together of you.

If you're serious about the functionality of a 2wd lift, look at Camburg. Their system would pair nicely with your fox shocks. Otherwise if you just want a poser look rough country should be able to hook you up.
