To fit the brush guard (or keep the tow hooks) with a bodylift you would have to cut some ugly notches in the front valence. With a bodylift the tow hook mounts line up at the lower part of the valence.

The kit from Superlift is the best deal for the money then.

Well, you didn't say that you had a 2wd. On the upside, lifting a 2wd is much cheaper. You want front lift spindles for a 2wd Ranger Edge and you can get the rear springs by themselves from Superlift. You may have to switch to Ranger brake rotors (I think).
This has been covered many times here. Do a Search.
Also you can do a TT/shackle lift on a 2wd as well.

so what was the endstate of doing the TT and lifting the front end 1.5 or 2 inches? or if anyone has a stock sport trac without TT adjust what is the measurement from ground to top of the opening of the fender?
