Need some help on Suspension problems.

[Jon_Smith]

I have a 2006 Ford Ranger Sport, V6 4x4 4.0. I just installed a 3" body lift and am interested in putting a suspension lift on it in order to be able to fit 35" tires. How much of a lift will I need and what are some parts I may have to buy to be able to put this suspension lift on my truck, I heard that I may have to buy a new front drive shaft cause the stock one will wear really fast. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Also what might be the cost of labour to get this kit installed.

Not sure on the price of labor, but yes you will need a new front driveshaft. Superlift sells one seperate from the kit. If you want 35's, you should also re-gear those axles. What do you have in there now?

 

[Jon_Smith]

Gear wise?

 

[Toms01PSD]

Yes. I'm assuming 3:73's as they are most common.

 

[Jon_Smith]

Yes

If you're going to run 35's you're going to want 4:56 gears. Probably even 4:88's.

 

[Jon_Smith]

How much do you think that will run me? Cost wise?

4.88s for sure.

Figure about $500-700 for parts, and about that again for labor (both axles).
