I own a 2002 Ranger XLT SuperCab 2.3L 2WD stick shift with an '04 engine block.

BEFORE - Pics of a truck that looks exactly what my truck looked like when I bought it... (Bed liner, mud flaps, wheels, bumper, cab, etc, etc...)

Thanks mossyoak03 & PickupMan92!

I have a Doetsch 6" lift for 01-06 2WD Ranger, which pretty much consist of 3" spindles, 3" coils, upper control arms and shocks... Although, I chose to leave on it a set of 2" Daystar Polyurethane Leveling Spacers that I had installed about 4 years ago... And in the back it came with 3" blocks and shocks, but I went the extra mile and bought 2.5" Add-A-Leaf, and 2" Adjustable Shackles (Adjusted at about 1.5" in height) just to keep the original truck look... You know, a little higher in the back... I got tired of seeing my truck leveled and kind of lowered more in the back. Check out my profile, I have listed everything that I acquired for my truck there. I tried to do it as detailed as possible... Hope this answers your questions...

Thanks for the comments, Josh40601! I collected parts for my truck for about 7 months, so I'm glad that it is all done know... Although, I am looking at getting a MileMarker winch for the front. I just have to figure out how to get it mounted directly on the truck's frame, but still keeping the grill brush guard... Oh well, that would be my next project... Thanks again, man!

The warn on Dee Arr is mounted on a plate i made from 1/4" steel under the grille, behind the front bumper. Its not on the brush guard, but maybe it will help. Good luck

Josh40601, I will keep an eye on that one, it may work for me. Thanks for the advice, man! I am also going to check out the MileMarker headquarters, which happens to be located 15 minutes away from my place... They have a winch mount for 4x4 Rangers, and I'd like to know if I can customize it to fit my 2WD... We'll see.

rangeryossway, Thanks!
