Suggestions On Lift

[Rainier]

Hard to tell which thread this should be posted in as the 2WD section seems to be for lowered trucks.

But, my questions is this!:

I am looking to get a new 08 2.3L Ranger XL Single Cab and want to lift it. What are my options for a lift? I'm hoping to run 32s.

I had a Ranger some years ago (96) that I lifted with a 3" body lift and was able to get 32s on with minimal rub. It was also a 2.3L.

What can you Ranger experts suggest? And, if possible, what kind of price range?

Really appreciate anyone's help!

I can't seem to find the 4 inch on the site.. Do you happen to have a direct link? I called 4wheelparts and they were unable to find any lifts for the 08 yet.

anything from 01+ should interchange just fine

Awesome Gator Thanks for the quick response!

Will these manufacturers confirm they will fit if 4wheelParts calls them? They said they just need a confirmation...

One more thing! I'm looking to buy some Wheel-lip Molding (fender flares) off a stock 06 Ranger. They should fit on 08 no prob?

Thanks guys.

Guys, he has an 08 2.3, so unless it as specially ordered, it's a 2WD. Therefore, the superlift kit will NOT work. It's a 4WD kit.

Look into Fabtech's 2WD lift kits. I've heard good things about them.

Fabtech was what 4WheelParts recommended as well (though they need a confirmation). I was planning on putting these wheels:

Does Fabtech offer higher than a 3" lift? Also, you guys know anything about pricing on these?

Thanks!

those are similar to the ones i have http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT63531.aspx and i am very happy with them other than they are pretty heavy... fabtech does have a 5.5 kit for coil spring 2wd rangers but i dont know too much about it since my truck has torsion bars but i believe it includes taller springs with the spindles

 

[Rainier]

Thanks for the info. Snooping around, looks like that 5.5" kit is f-ing expensive!

Ya'll know what kind of body lifts are available? I wouldn't mind doing maybe the 3" fabtech spindles then a 2" body lift.
