I just got done lifting and doing some mods on my 2004 Ranger.  I am very pleased on how it has turned out, although now I want to go higher, with even bigger tires and louder.  I went with a 3" body lift, 33" x 12.50 x 15's, 15 x 10 wheels, JBA Headers, Magnaflow dual exhaust muffler with 3" exhaust pipes.  It sounds mean.  My buddy, who's name coincidentally is Buddy, helped me out the whole way.  I've got a lot more pictures too.  Future plans are: suspension lift, larger tires, adding more HP's.  Gearing...
