ive got a 99 ranger. its currently slammed but im soon to be putting it back to stock height. and in the interest of saving money. will a 3" body lift allow me to clear 31x10.5" tires?

and what is the best kit for body lifts?

You will be able to clear 31's fine with that lift on a 15x8 rim. IMO performance accessories sells the most complete kits for the job.

Yea I got my kit from PA though 4wheel parts whearhouse, and go everthing excpet for the filler neck. Or they sent me the filler neck extensions it did not work. I had to go to the plumbing section of the hardware store.

When AcidLuncher Got his kit he was missing the E-break extenion bracket.

i didnt need a ebrake extention bracket, nor did i need a filler neck extention. i do need a shifter extention for my std trans to use the stock cup holders. 4wheel parts quote me $161.00+shipping and a week to get it. summit sent mine out the next day for $68.00 shipped it's made by trailmaster suspensions

PA offers good kits, but if the one from Summit comes with the bumper brackets and all that for a lot less you might want to got with them. Good Luck.

thats what my friend used. i was looking at that and have read about it. i know its more expensive, but he had no problems and reading the above replies saying there were problems, i dont need any of those.

this winter its going back to stock height. im saving money. then ill get dual exhaust sometime this winter just to get it out of the way so i dont have to get it later. after the body lift. im going to save for 33"s and 15x10 and a 3" suspension lift. what do those go for? (price, and prefered brand)

like i said i have a 3in body lift $68.00 shipped, i bought the fabtech 2.5in lift springs for like $141.00 from 4wheelparts, and used a add-a-leaf from a full size dodge, but lift blocks will kept your stock ride and should cost around $25.00 for 3in.

i dont know about 15x10, i have 15x8 and the back spacing had to be 3 3/4. i got my rims for $43.00 ea shipped from summitracing.com

and i went from 6/8 drop that this

the only two problems i'm having with this set up (well not really problems for me) is unless you buy the shifter extension you cant use the stock cup holder (my sturck is a std shift). and the stocks gears are to high for running 33's and using 5th gear i'm looking into changing to 4.10s
