I didn't realize that. Im a newbie I apologize ..
I'll take some pics and maybe someone can. ... I ...i be back. Do i post on your page here.?

Yup. At the lower left of the box where you type your entry, is a button labeled "attach files". That will give you a chance to upload pictures.

Pictures would definitely help. If the lift was done using a kit from a known vendor, someone here might recognize the brackets and hardware from good photos. There’s a slim chance we might be able to tell you “ you need xxx shocks from yyyyy vendor” or similar substitute.

Again, not to be irritating, but this is in the “introduce yourself” forum. Asking your questions in new threads in the proper help forums gets better answers and makes it easier for someone later who is searching for the same info.

I bought a used 99 4WD ranger supercab with manual tranny. 3.0 flex . surprise got it dirt cheap. But was I in for surprise. Had hardly any brakes I replaced front am looking for rear it has drum brakes. The guy told me it needed a new clutch so I took him he knew what he was talking about yeah I replaced if my self. Surprise it was hardly wore all it needed was fluid and a good bleed. Now here's some more surprises the front end is wore out meaning upper and. Lower ball joints as I was looking at the uppers I noticed 2 different styles idk much about them I forgot to mention has been lifted don't know how much. Wasn't really into that lifting crap.

Any information you can give us in your lift would go a long way toward us helping you. I know it can be tough when it's a truck you bought off someone else with little information but it is needed to give you the best answers.

For example, I installed pre-2007 torsion keys and axle blocks on my 2011 Ford Ranger. If I sold the truck and didn't pass that information along, it makes life a challenge for the next owner since they would be looking for parts that fit an unmodified Ranger of that year.

For Your truck, here is some examples of what your truck might have: https://trsaorp.com/product-category/ford-ranger-suspension-lifts/1998-2011-ford-ranger-lift-kits/

These don't include any body lifts that might be installed as well, which is also in the forum store I just linked but in a different section.
