Anybody know where you can find a good one for a 2002 4x4? Done quite a bit of searching but it seems like there's only ones for the 2wd

There is a company that was making a coil over conversion lift kit they quit making them but there are some retailers online that still have them and the other is superlift, http://www.superlift.com/Catalog.asp?P=K358&V=223, those are the only two company's I can think of that make a lift for the IFS ranger. You can also do a torsion twist to your truck and add warrior 153 shackles that will lift the truck at about a max of 2" but also requires a front end alignment afterwards.

EDIT: The Company that was making the coil over conversion lift kit is called RCD. And found another link for the superlift from a retailer.

Yeah, No prob. I been looking at them for awhile just can't decide which one I'd rather have because getting rid of the torsion bars sounds like a good idea with the RCD lift but costs more.

Yeah...but they're worth it You could also go body lift which that part number is 'PA 883' which is Performance accessories brand, its a 3inch body lift its a cheap alternative to lifting your truck and being able to fit larger tires under your truck you could combine that with the torsion twist and lift shackles. The reason I don't care for the body lift that much is because besides fitting bigger tires I want to gain more ground clearance than what the larger tires will provide.

They make a relocation kit for the bumpers.
