I put a 6" lift in my 2000 ford ranger 2wd.
4" lift spindles 2" lift coils and 4" blocks in the rear. I need longer brake hoses to go from the calipers and the center line in the rear from the frame to the axle, but was wondering if there are any other trucks with same setup that are longer that I could just get. Which would be stock for that vehicle but act like extended brake lines on my truck. Any help appreciated.

Please school an old fart. What does lifting a 2 wd truck accomplish? I can sorta see doing it to a 4wd. :D

The higher you raise that thing,the more you screw up the geometry and what little engineering Ford ever did . Adding blocks is gonna raise the CoG Big wheels and tires cost money and rob MPG. Handling will suffer when and where you need it the most. If this is your DD, you are just hiding what a 2 wd was made for and does well. Just saying is all. :D

Good Luck !
