and I think Im going to buy this lift kit which raises it 4 in the front and 3 in the rear. Im Going to Keep the 2" lift along with the 4 kit, and then add the belltech Shackles, Would you guys say this is a do able lift?

I know im going to need new shocks and a pitman arm...

Thanks Ryan.
 
You will probably need skyjacker 6" lift brackets to use 4" lift coils with 2" spacers. Piece it together or ditch the current 2" spacers, or it'll be hard to align and the steering will be terrible.
 
That should work. I will assume that your truck is aligned for the 2" lift so adding a 4" coil and lift brackets should not throw your alignment out so bad to the point where it is not alignable. If you are going to do it that way, I'd suggest getting different shocks than what come with the kit. The pitman arm in that kit may still work even with the coil spacers just as long as the pitman arm drops 4". The coils may also settle, so keeping that 2" lift would give the truck at least 4" of lift.
 
My first Ranger looked just like yours. Same color too. Ended up with a Superlift 6", two inch body lift, and 33 inch tires. Regeared it to 4.10. Awesome truck!!
Sadly...........R.I.P.
Replaced with a '94 super cab.
 
Ill pry just kill the 2" coil spacers up front not a big deal and Just run the 4" coils with the Brackets.

Nice 4" seems enough for me... might do 6" one day if im feelin it haha.
 
watch Tuff country, ajmiller got screwed and we all fought to get him coil springs.. figure out if coil springs come in the kit before you buy it.

honestly, you're better off making your own kit from buying different pieces here and there. skyjacker brackets, custom extend your RA's, use xj coils, f250 shock towers and long shocks.. things like that.
