I know I already have a thread kinda like this one but here it goes.

question----so Im thinking of buying this lift pretty soon any comments on this lift good or bad is the price fair anybody know another lift cheaper or something better for not much more with new shocks included? will this lift hurt my ride quality or is it bad for the suspension im not really to sure how that little claw looking metal piece raises the front end but i guess it does. also can you do a spindle lift and also maybe get a inch out of twisting the tortion bars or is that pushing it.will 33-12.50-15 fit with this lift

reason-----I would prefer a real suspension lift but cant see spending the money since my truck is only 2wd so Im really just trying to beaf my truck up. and lift it so it can fit the bigger tires.

question---- with 33-12.50-15 what size rims should I buy to fit the width of the tire. also what backspacing so they dont rub and I wouldnt mind if they stuck out about a inch give or take.

reason----I was going to use my factory rims but told they are only 7'' wide which I was told is to skinny for a 12.50 tire and the back spacing is to small they would rub to bad

question----would the 33s fit on my truck if I got rims and tires and put them on there before I got the lift.

reason---impatience lol, Id get the lift and then the tires but id want to put that on and then id have a taller truck with baby tires. i wanna wait and do the tires rim and lift all at once to get the full effect all at once but can afford it all at once and would go crazy seeing one or the other thing just sitting in the garage

question--- if anybody has any pics of a 2001 body style ranger edge with a 3'' lift and 33s could you post some pics below so I can see what i can excpect.

reason---will it be a decent notiable difference or not worth the money
 






since your truck is 2wd and you want to go the cheapest route possible to fit larger tires you might want to look into a 2" bl. With a extra 2" you'll be able to fit a 4" larger tire. I'm not sure on the backspacing but a 10" wide rim would work fine for the size tire you want to run.
 






no a body lift is completely out of the question i dont like how it looks or rides i helped my buddy due one on his dakota it didnt look good and rode horrible has to be either a shacklle block coil spacer supsension stortion twist but no body lift
