Default Lift question

Im new to the whole truck scene. I just bought a 04 ranger 4x4. THe front end sits a little lower than the front. Maybe a inch? Not sure. They make a kit or something i can raise it equally to the back?


Also looking for bed cover also....

The back sits a little higher than the front when the bed is empty. As you load the bed, the truck tends to level out. If you raise the front so that the truck is level when empty, the front will be higher than the back with a load in the bed. For aerodynamic and visibility reasons, it's better for the front to be lower than the back than higher than the back. So, if you raise the front, it should be with an adjustable lift kit that allows you to lower the front as needed. For me, I don't consider the front being a little lower than the back to be a problem. I figure it gives me better aerodynamics and a better view of the road. Visibility is important, because the Ranger bench seat puts you into a somewhat laid back driving position. It's a compact sports truck kind of thing, LOL.
