I want to lift my 2WD 00' Ranger. Where can I get a quality kit to do this? I have never lifted any vehicle, but I have some mechanically inclined buddies who do this almost daily, so help will be no problem.

I just need a good source, for a quality lift kit. I dont plan on doing any offroading at all, just merely for looks.. Body or suspension would be fine, I'm sure body lift would be cheaper... But yeah, you guys help me out cause I know ya'll wont steer me wrong!

 

how big do ya wanna go?

IT's pretty easy.

There's a 3.5 inch spindle lift that someone will explain how to get for the cheapest price, also this is a REAL SUSPENSION LIFT

Also there is a body lift that gives 3 inches for 200 bucks available from jcwhitney or summit racing.

By the way, I have a feeling that since you're xlt you have coils and therefore cant use spindles. Maybe some 2wder will be able to help me out, since im a 4wd guy.

I dont want something extreme..... Just a good little lift to enhance my appearace... I'm trying to ditch the lowrider look......

 

then body lift man. 200 bucks and beer.

Aaron

 

just 200? that's cheep....

less than 200.

This should be it, anyonce correct me. I know it says 98-99 but if i remember 00 is the exact same.

Also, what it does is lift ur body 3 inches off the frame. It also offers to sell you gap guards to cover where you can see thru the wheelwells, but you can make them yourself for less.

how would i make gap guards?

 

search first. There's a search tool at the top of the page.

ty

 

theres a 3inch spindle lift and a 2.5 coil lift for 2wd non edges, and you combine them for a 5.5 lift, and throw on a bodylift for a 8.5 inch lift


im running the 2.5 coil lift and the 3inch body lift on my 01 2wd xlt

 

Dang you beat me to it!

 

Check my sig for my set up. I have like 8 inches of lift in the front, and like 7 in the back. I have 33's only because I got a good deal on them. You could easily run 35's, and it would look really nice.

 

guys he's a `00, I know there isn't a whole lot of difference, but all of you suggestions seem to be aimed at 01-03 products.

I'm an `02 2wd xlt so I have never really researched the products for the 98-00 ranger but I think there are slight differences that might require you to buy a slightly different set up. I havent clicked the links yet so I could be wrong, I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Aaron we still use spindles, we just have coils instead of T-bars, yall can crank t-bars we have to buy larger coils for the same effect.

 

Anything I bought for my '02 XLT 2wd can be had for the same price for an '00.

He'll just have to get a PA body lift and the AAL and bigger blocks to run the same thing I did. Oh, and for the springs, he'll also need new upper control arms.

 

^ Yup. In 2wd 98-06 is the same as far as suspension goes.

 

only real change is rotor size and front abs from 00 to 01, but it all works

 

thats not suspension....but yeah thats the only thing i really know of...i wanna say the rotor went from like 10 point somethin to like 11 1/4 or somethin crazy like that...makes it challenging for some guys to find 15" rims that fit.

 

I had no problems with my American Racing Outlaw II's (15x8)

 

just do both spindle and body.... its not impossible

 

EBAY man. Cheapest out there!!!
