suspension questions

[mhuchel14]

I recently bought a 98 2wd ranger, and I was looking to put a lift kit on it. I was wandering what size lift I would need for 33s. I do not want to do a body lift, so only a suspension lift. Also, I was wandering what I would need to do other than the lift in order to fun 33s. It is a manual transmission, so not sure if I need to change the gearing, or something else. Any help is welcome.

What's your budget? Do you plan on cutting fenders? Do you want a kit or piece it together? I think most basic lifts 3-4 inch will clear 33s. But as far as the gearing what gears do you have? What type of diff 7.5 or 8.8? Look at your door jamb or the tag on the rear of the diff and use the tech section under diffs to determine what you have. Do you want highway DD or is it strictly an offroad rig?
