Sportrac 4bt suspension lift??

[Jriddler]

Looking for a suspension lift ... like two inches i already have a body lift , and added leafs in the back and cracked the torsion bars a little in the front but having trouble finding some after market stuff. I also don't want to just crack the bar even more. Do rangers have the same suspension? If I could get some opinions or suggestions that would be great

Yeah the front suspension is the same as like the 98-11 rangers, some of the older ones just had smaller brakes so a slightly different spindle. You can get the front ranger kit from Rough Country or Superlift. The rear you'll have to make your own by going sprung over or you'll have to try and find a set of old Superlift leafs.

You can get rear lift springs from any spring company. No need to source discontinued parts for the rear.

Oh baby I love it!! Turbo diesel sport trac
Tell you what, bad news = there are no suspension upgrades available you should just sell that truck to me instead.
Pretty sure I see CV axles in your pic so it is a 4wd trac

All kidding aside, the front suspension is the SLA IFS (short long arm) used in 98-11 Rangers, 96-01 Explorers and 01-05 sports and tracs.
The rear axle is spring under axle, you can swap to spring over axle for a 5-6" lift in the rear

Rough country and Superlift both make drop bracket lifts that will work on the front SLA IFS
Then there are a couple of companies that make long travel IFS kits in +2 and +4 widths
