Default Lifting a Ranger(ned help)

ok guys i have a 1991 ford ranger..its only 2wd and its only a 4cylinder(hehe yea no flame plz) but i want to lift it atleast 3 inches(or more if its cheap) and your probably wondering why am i lifting a 2wd truck. Well becuase i plan on using this truck to haul a jetski around and i want to be able to easily put the whole jetski into the water without getting my truck wet..(and i just like the looks of a lifted truck) but anyways i would appreciate it if someone would show me a website or something of that nature..

Ok i have a 2wd ranger and I have helped many friends lift both 2wd and 4wd trucks, the cheapest way to lift your truck would be a 3in body lift, but that prolly wont get you as high as you are wanting beyond that you can get an expensive suspension lift or you can get 2 in add a leaves for the rear and lift coils for the front for an extra 2 in of lift, combined with the body lift thats 5in and will prolly give you enough room for 33's with the right off set on the rims.

go to offroadrangers.com and to rangerpowersports.com they have lots of info on this stuff.

Can you do a shakle flip in a ranger like f150's and broncos? THAT would be cheap for a usually 2" rear suspension lift. Then get a set of front coils to level it out.
