Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

There are many types of lifts available. How much are you planning on spending, and what is your plans for it/what are you going to use it for mostly?

Oh, and welcome to the forum

I'd seriuosly consider a body lift over the fairly expensive suspension lift.

is there an extremely cheap thing that u could do for torsion bars like how u can use spring rubbers on a truck with springs. Ive tried adjusting my torsion bolts but it seemed like they were threaded.
