Title: Lowrider to 4x4 Beast: DIY Lift Kit on a Budget?!

Hey guys, I got a buddy who's got a budget and a '95 Ranger that he wants to turn into a 4x4 off-roader. He's been looking into DIY lift kits and I'm wondering if anyone here has tried one and can share their experiences. Has anyone got a solid plan for a budget-friendly lift kit that's reliable and gets the job done?

"Dude, I'd love to see that DIY lift kit. I've got a similar truck and was thinking of doing the same, but heard it's not easy to get the geometry right. Got any tips on where to find good resources for a noob like me?"

"Yea, I did a DIY lift kit on my old Civic a few years back for like $500, and it turned out sick! I used coilovers from eBay and some scrap metal for the spacers, saved me a bunch of cash. Now my ride's got some serious clearance"
