Lift Kit Options for 01 ST

[Cgrace808]

Howzit guys!
I have been an owner of this mean machine for about a little over a year and I gotta say I’m ready to go the distance with this baby and make her strut!

So believe me when I say I have been searching far and wide for info on kits but it seems like the only viable and possible kits I can really put on this guy is body lift kits. I know I can also just buy some Torsion keys and crank those up maybe a couple of inches but other than that I feel like I’m really running into some dead ends. I also noticed you could use a Ranger spiral lift kit on a 01 ST but it seems quite complicated. Basically the desired outcome is 6” of lift, definitely want to fit some meaty tires, and of course maybe a 3”-5” offset. So any tips, ideas or even actual kits that I can use aside from body lifts would be much appreciated. I have attached a photo of a 01 ST that I’m trying to copy or at least give reference to what I want mine to look like.

The rear is easy enough, you can just keep adding leaf springs until you get where want to be then get replacement shocks for the new length from axle to cross member. It is the front that I have had trouble finding things for.

That guys setup is the same as mine I have a 2004 sport trac 2wd so I went with the 4” lift spindles off of wulf suspension it’s a 2001 ranger spindles you will need the ranger rotors but can use your own brakes 3” torsion keys that I cranked mine for about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4” on the keys to give me room for my 315 75 16 ( 35” tires ) on my stock rims when you do your front end you will need camber bolts now on his he went axle under the leaf spring that part is hard unless you can weld or do a axle swap for me I did a 3” rear shackles and a 2” add a leaf with my axle is above the leaf springs down the road I’m going to do a 3” body lift but that’s a maybe

under stand a sport trac is a ranger edge all the parts will fit both

I went with 3" PA body lift, 2"TT and 2" rear shackles to clear 33x12.5 on 10" rims. Also running 2" wheel spacers on all four corners. Also replaced all body mount bushing and replaced all shock stock shocks with Ranchos when doing body lift.
