Body Lift or Suspension Lift?

Kinda unless u flex well offroading and the sheet metal from the bed rips lugs off Ur tire. Or in my case even though I have Skiny 33 tires the sheet metal ripped into the sidewall of my tire 3/4ths the way around it leaveing a gash. U have to be careful with 33's if u offroad. The best set up for the ranger is 3 inch body with 32/11.50/r15 or whatever rim size u like but that size is best for the 3 inch body lift. Always stuffing a huge tire to make it look good or wider to grab more traction is Deff not the best way. As well as u loose HP and torque with a bigger and wider tire. The smaller and Skiny the agressive tire the more power gets to the ground. Giving u the traction by cleaning out the tire lugs for a fresh bite.

It really doesn't give u the 7 inches u think. And its for looks only cuz the 4 inch suspension didn't change anything all it did was add 4 inches to the suspension we already have and hate. The front is still stiff as froozen nipples in the walk in freezer.

 

Mine alreayd rides like a ban wagon with the wheels and tires. But I dont think Id really use a lift. Itd be more for looks than actual off roading. Although I would like some extra ground clearance. I looked underneath my Ranger the other day and realized theres not a lot of room between the t-case and ground lol

 

Simple add a leaf in the rear and crank the front bars fixes this.

 

Thatd work. Would lift shackles, add-a-leaf, or blocks be cheaper?

 

Depends there are a lot of sales out there if u find the cheapest one go for it. Make sure there is a return warrenty too.

 

Quoting this cuz i edited it

 

Do NOT stack blocks in the rear. That is a no-no and might get you killed. Plus it puts added stress on your leaf springs due to the MASSIVE amount of axle wrap stacked blocks give you.

 

Add a leaf is best

 

I wouldnt stack blocks, just put one on it lol

 

Can I just take some rear springs off another Ranger at a junkyard and stack them? would that be a cheaper way to go?

 

Add a leaf isn't expensive

 

I see your point. Theyre $50 lol

 

if you get leafs at the JY just make shure that they have no craks in them

 

Ya but Ur still adding same sized leaf on same sized leafs. Don't make sense.

 

But leaf springs are like what? an inch thick? Add 4 of em on there and BAM! Youve got 4 inches of lift and a ride rougher than a dump truck loaded with concrete!

 

And stiff is bad LOL

 

well that depends on what your doing with the truck

 

Its my DD for the most part. But I hooked our trailer to it the other day and loaded our tractor onto it. It didnt squat very much. I was surprised!

 

I've loaded and pulled a lot of rocks and scrap metal
