TORCH Off Road 3" Front 2" Rear Lift Kit for 98-11 Ford Ranger Rear Shackle Installation Guide 

Thanks for your comment. Our shackles have been designed and tested to fit on factory suspensions. In my experience, I’ve not encountered a case where our shackles did not have enough room to fit on a stock Ranger suspension -TORCH

What is the reason for doing this? Just got my kit the other day

@@jacksondriscoll98 Thanks for your question. It helps to do a final torque check with the vehicle on the ground. This makes the torque check more accurate, as the suspension is under load similar to how the truck would be when driving 👍 -TORCH

Thanks for your question! Our shackle lift is compatible on the regular cab Ranger models with factory suspension -TORCH

Thanks for your comment. I always recommend consulting your owner’s manual for safe vehicle lifting practices. For the Ford Ranger, I suggest placing two more jack stands under the rear axle below the leaf packs for additional support -TORCH

If you're already down there, you might as well.

Thanks for your comment. This kit can typically be installed using the factory shocks. However, longer shocks will help with improved ride quality. I usually recommend installing the lift first to see how the ride feels. If after a week you’re interested in picking up longer shocks, please contact us directly and I can make a recommendation 🙏 -TORCH

Thanks for your question. Conservatively, I recommend up to 32.5" diameter tires with our torsion key / shackle kit for the Ford Ranger. However, I know you could get away with 33"s with minimal to no rubbing. Anything bigger than a 33" tire will require minor fender trimming and proper wheel spacing to fit the larger tires. Please contact us directly if you have any other questions and thanks again! -TORCH

i think it will i’m about to buy one and try it bro i’ll lyk

I’ve not tested this on the Mazda B3000 so I can’t guarantee the fitment. However, from my understanding the B3000 has a similar suspension to the Ford Ranger. If your Mazda has torsion bar suspension, it’s possible this could fit. Please contact us directly and I'll be happy to discuss the fitment in more detail -TORCH

3" on the front, 2 in the rear.. so does your torsion bar become super stiff? Also in regards to the front end of things, 3" is a pretty severe angle change on the cv axles, like to the point where it needs to be addressed..no? Would love to hear opinions on that.
