need help and ideas for a first time lift

[At_The_Gates]

So I have a 2002 Ranger XLT 3.0L V6. 2WD and I want to lift it 9 inches. What would be better a 6 inch suspension with a 3 inch body lift or all suspension? And what about shocks? I don't know anything about suspension.... This truck is an everyday truck and I mostly want the lift for looks but I do need it for some dessert when I go dirt biking but nothing to hardcore off roading. This is my first truck so any ideas and suggestions would be great. Thanks

Just my opinion, If you are deadset on 9" for a daily driver 2wd, I would go 6 and 3 for the simple fact that the higher you go on suspension, the more problems you will encounter with the driveshaft angle.

I would personally go with a 4" suspension and a 3" body for a daily driver, I am not sure how high you can actually go on a 02 2wd without having to mod the driveshaft though......as for shocks, I would order them with the kit to match, I'm sure somebody that knows more will post up soon.

Welcome to TRS! Good luck!!

He said 02', a 92' would actually be easier to get that amount of lift out of...

IIRC you can get a 3" Spindle, 2.5" coil (essentially a fabtech kit, but you can piece it together cheaper and better) and run a 3" B/L and clear 35's, which is what Bloo's done over at RPS.
