Ranks
Each rank unlocks different things. Most notable are Felony and Organized crimes. Rank means much more than that though - it is really a milestone for your achievements and experience within the game. You will start out as a Citizen and have to move your way up through these ranks throughout your career.

Made Man and Beyond
In order to 'Get Made' or rank up to Made Man or higher - you need your crew leader to promote you. Often times Crewleaders have specific ranking conditions. It's important to remember that in order to get anywhere you need to prove yourself and become a valued member of your crew and the game - especially if you plan on ranking up to these higher levels.
Units
Units are two things really: The number of drugs you are allowed to hold, and a ranking requirement. Units are gained through game experience. In order to see if you can gain more units you have to 'Sell Drugs'.
Gaining Units
Units are gained through a wide variety of methods - not all of which will be made immediately apparent. The simplest way to gain units is to commit Petty and Felony crimes. Another simple way is through Jail Breaking.
Getting Past 20 Units
In order to get the nod to carry anything more than 20 units you will need to bribe your local FBN agent. You accomplish this by going to the 'Tips' section and tipping the FBN agent many times until he tells you that you are starting to understand how your 'relationship' works. After that you should be able to gain some more units.
