2002 Ford Ranger Body Lift - Body Lift Basics



2002 Ford Ranger Body Lift Pull Carpet
It will be necessary to pull back the corners of the carpet to gain access to the body bolts that hold down the cab. The cab sits on a two-sided bushing that will need to be reused when installing the body puck, as it will sit atop of the factory bushing.		 2002 Ford Ranger Body Lift Steering Shaft
The steering shaft will only allow a limited amount of extra length until the shaft pulls apart. To correctly extend your shaft, use the provided extension that bolts into the bottom part of the shaft, allowing for a longer shaft.		 2002 Ford Ranger Body Lift Guide Bracket
Although there is room for most cables to stretch on the vehicle, one device that you always want working properly is your emergency brake. To adjust for the body's high location, you will need to drill two holes for the new guide bracket that will keep your emergency-brake cable from binding or becoming kinked when engaged.
2002 Ford Ranger Body Lift Bumper Bracket
New bumper brackets are used to raise the bumper levels along with the body. After all the pucks and new brackets are installed, refer back to your original measurements to recreate the original gaps between the bumper and the body.		 2002 Ford Ranger Body Lift Before
To finish out the 3-inch body lift we went over to Ramona Tire to mount up a set of 33-inch Toyo MTs on 15x8 America Racing polished-aluminum wheels.		 2002 Ford Ranger Body Lift After
The Toyo's 13.50-inch-wide footprint created a minor rubbing situation on the front bumper. In this case a little trimming was all that was needed to allow the tires to clear without any problems.
