Performance Accessories Body Lifts For Ford Ranger's Review?

[wickedranger]

Has anyone used these "Performance Accessories Body Lifts For Ford Ranger's" advertised on the forum? Whats the quality of these, and is this more of a scam, and should I stick to companies like skyjacker, etc... ?

Anyone have any pics of their 3" body lift on 2002 ranger edge?

are you serious pa has been around for a long time and have great products. its kind hard to screw up a bl but save some money and buy the summit racing bl its the same thing as the pa or skyjacker or superlift body lifts there all made out of the same things.

i was thinking about going along that same line and using the summit racing body lift on my 01 which is the same as the aformentioned 02. summits bebsite isnt clear if their ranger body lift will work on an 01-02 ranger. any one know if it will or not?

Any 98+ BL will fit any 98+ ranger. Only variable is 09+ have 10 bed bolts. And the fuel filler neck and fuel vent neck hoses vary in sizes from year to year to year. Trip to home depot or ace harware for hose barbs and short length of hose and some conduet cures those issues.




I've had my PA on for almost 3 years now or so. Thousands of others have 'em with no complaints. It's a quality product. Only pain is the install sometimes. Damn stubburn stock body bolts.

Well, your talking to someone that is just now getting into this field (with a 2WD at that!!) and working my way up to 4WD eventually... But, all my money and knowledge is with my 2007 Mustang GT! So I don't know much, hence all these lovely questions on this forum to you OFFROAD SOPHISTICATED PEOPLES! HAHA

I've had mine for a few years now, and couldn't be happier with it. Worst part of the whole install was getting the stock body bolts out. One impact wrench purchase later, and it was smooth sailing. Overall, a great product.

my only complaint is that they dont come with rear bumper lift brackets. i had to go out and make my own to get rid of the fugly gap.

98+ kits comes with both front and rear lift brackets.

Hmm, different prices... but looks the same. Even states the same as far as parts and durability. Both rated at 50,000 lbs... hmmm

So what exactly is the difference between these two, aside from price?

One sold as "performance", the other not? haha

LOL.....there's not much difference. It's a PA kit shoved in a Summit Box. lol. Shoot, even the instructions are damn near identical, except hte summit kit doesn't have pics, and the PA does. lol.
