all of that stuff listed in the links should work on your truck....

a suspension lift kit for a 4x4 83-97 ranger will NOT work, those are for a TTB 4x4 suspension, and you have a torsion bar ifs suspension

It's not a suspension lift. It's a body lift.

so that ranger BL will work but the ranger suspension lift wont work, k.... what if i flip the torsion bars(woulkd that give me a lift?) also if i put the axle under the leaf pack how mcuh lift would i get? im tryin to figure out why the ranger sits higher then the ex's?

The reindexed torsion keys will give you more lift but won't do anything for the camber, which will pretty much be too great to get back into spec even with camber adjusters.

it would be easier just to do a torsion twist that putting in new keys. they are both doing the samething because you cant lift the front more that two inches anyway with torsion twist

rangers are lighter and have a factory soa.. they also have the leaf springs mounted in a different manner than the explorer, they use not an H shackle to the frame but a shackle in a bucket thats connected to the frame.....

flipping the torsion bar adjusters will severly lower the truck, and i dont think thats what you want to do..... now cranking the tbars for 2" of lift... yes you can do that, and its done quite commonly.....

if you dont understand the torsion bar idea and how it works, check out a thread here called torsion bar 101 ... it should explain all the tbar stuff
