stage 2 clutch

Not sure what you are after, you can buy clutch discs with softer material, i.e. "racing clutches" these offer faster gripping but wear out very fast compared to "regular" material on clutch discs.
I doubt you would have slippage issues with stock clutch by adding 30-50HP
You would probably be better off going with super charger in a Ranger with 4.0l, very little room for turbo and since you aren't or didn't mention changing lower end of engine you can get the same stock engine boost pressure with either.
Supercharger also has no "turbo lag" and no wastegate surge, so much steadier power curve.
Cost is the same for parts but supercharger is much easier and cleaner to install.
If you were building an engine and vehicle from scratch or had more room then turbos are popular choice since they use scavenged power from exhaust flow, supercharger uses crank shaft power.
Turbos have higher potential boost pressure, BUT need "built" engine to use that.
Turbos are cheaper to install at factory than superchargers.
Turbos have a higher failure rate than superchargers, has to do with the spin speed of the turbo bearings and heat, they are after all in the exhaust stream, and when you shut off the engine you shut off the oil flow to cool bearings.............

My buddy and I built a 96 4.0 ranger with a 66mm turbo and it held up great on 12 psi for about 10k miles then the auto trans started slipping...we put it under the bed no intercooler and didn't exactly tune it right but the wide band said we were good...little truck was fast and still runs to this day just the body is rotting away
