should i get a suspension lift for a '98 ranger instead of explorer?

[jcwaters1]

why do all the sites that sell suspension lifts only carry the explorer parts through '97 or even '94? should i get one for a '98 ranger? btw i have a '98 XLT 4.0 SOHC

Most places sell lifts for 91-94, 96-99. No dont get one for a 98 ranger as the suspension was a bit different.

ok does anyone know what that one from superlift costs? i dont have time to call right now

 

[3plorerz]

about $2k. If you want the upgraded axles then its about another $500. Its not necesary but recommended. plus your alignment and if you choose new rims/tires/etc

 

[3plorerz]

but the kit comes with everything you need. leaf springs/ 4 shocks/and all hardware up front

 

[jcwaters1]

whoa thats a little steep for me. anything cheaper out there? or is there a mod on the front end to be able to get more lift without binding the cv joints? cuz i could get an add a leaf, and warrior shackles, but then the back would sit way higher then the front.

imo i havent seen add a leafs work out well for anyone. You could twist the torsion bars a bit more to get about 2" at the most from what i hear.

If you do TT, shackles and an add-a-leaf you can get about 2". Thats what i did and so far its worked out.

If you wanted you could do an SOA and just buy the front end lift parts from superlift, go to their website and call them up.
