im interested in lifting my ranger 3" or so, has anyone one here lifted theres? iv got a 2003 edge 2wd- i was given a price on a body lift, if i did this could i just add some suspension parts to the body lift? like a longer travel shock or something?

 

I think you could do like I did with mine(after i swapped the front suspension parts from an edge onto my xlt). We cranked the torsion bars up and added a 3 inch block on the leaf sprinngs.

Btw where did you call to get a price?

I just had S&M do a few 3" lifts for us and it wasn't too bad.

 

just curious..why would you do lifts on 2wds?because trucks at stock height have a pretty good clearance...i guess im just missing something..idk..

 

I did it to allow for bigger tires and not have clearance issues. Plus I hated squating down toget in.

 

stupid question.

why does anyone modify anything? maybe because they like it that way...

most of the rangers i used to ride with had fabtech lifts, i almost got a 3.5 off ebay for 500, might want to check there. its an easy install, too.

 

it wasnt a stupid question ass..just a legitamite one..i know why people lift their trucks but most of the time they are 4x4s...graves answered my question thats all that needed to be said..thanks..

 

i want it higher off the ground i want 33's on it. i was looking into a 3inch spindle antone know how hard this will be to install? will i have to modify anything like the torsion bars?

 

ya dont need a new spindle, those are expensive. crank the torsion bars for an easy couple inches. you already have 2" lift blocks in the rear.

www.TheRangerStation.com has how to's on cranking the torsions, also forums for other Ranger specific questions.

 

http://www.rangerpowersports.com/for...d.php?t=130875 it doesnt seem to work to well with just the torsion bar crank, i want a true 3inch lift, the spindles are only around 300$ new so if thats what i need i might as well just get em right? i think all i need are these and some new shocks?

 

I had 32's on my 03 Ranger XLT w/ no rubbing at factory height
