i am trying to lift my 1998 ford ranger like 4 inches but it is a 2 wheel drive and im stumped on what to do. i keep hearing different things like overside shocks and blocks but i dont really know what all tht stuuf is about. can someone please help me out im new to this?!! :(
 
Shocks don't mess with your ride height. You can put a spindle lift on and blocks under the rear leaf springs, there's also a body lift that you can do. All depends on what your budget is and what you want to do with it
 
spindle lift.

ironically, for '98 and newer rangers the 2wd's are actually easyier and cheaper to lift. i don't know a ton on spindle lifts but it's generally the preferred suspension lift method for 2wd's, it'll get you around 4 inches higher.
 
The body lift is the cheapest option, ringing in around $300 for the kit. I have a 4x4 so I'm not too sure on the prices of a spindle lift
 
Member 01B3000 just did a spindle lift on his truck. Hopefully he will chime in and give us his take on it. I think for now, shop around ebay for spindle lifts, also check Summitracing.com for them. You should need the spindles, bigger shocks and rear leaf lift shackles

You can also get 2" spacer for the front coils, then lift shackles for the rear and body lift it. The body lift kits for your truck SHOULD be under 200.00 at summitracing.com
 
your right clinton the "summit brand" BL comes in right under 200.... and for the extra inch he is wanting you can get coil spacers for the 1" and possibly check in 1" shackles for the rearend.

plus knowing if he has torsion bars or coils would make a big difference in wether or not he would need the coil spacers
