[mr1996ranger]

hey guys i have a 1996 ranger 2wd 2.3l i4. im graduating in about a month and im wanting to lift my ranger. i want to find a lift kit that works with this odd front end i have and i want to do one with out any driveline mods. any ideas?

I have seen some good ones on ebay that will fit your truck. The 2wd lift kits are pretty cheap so check it out!

That, and a body lift works as well. Fairly cheap and doesn't touch the suspension and driveline except for a steering extension and fuel filler neck extension

i was actually just looking at a leveling kit so i can fit a little bigger tire underneath but ive been seeing that u need to adjust the camber to. is that necessary for only 2 inches?

 

[Redneck_ranger]

An alignment should take care of it. Just take it and have the front end aligned. You have to have it aligned anyways

 

[mr1996ranger]

alright thanks guys

one more thing wat is the biggest tire i culd run without any problems?

 

[Redneck_ranger]

With a 2" leveling kit you could run 30s I'd say. With the 3" body lift you can clear 31s

alright i have 14 inch stock rims and the only all terrain i culd find was the BFG's . are they any good?

 

[Redneck_ranger]

Depends on what you want to use them for. They're a great all around tire, not so good in the mud.

 

[mr1996ranger]

no im not guna be doing any mudding just a little trail riding and mostly on the road

I dont blame you, heavy off roading leads to more money in repairs

YES IT DOES!!!!!! lol Trust me, I know this one real well. lol


Yeah, BFG's are good for light trails and the occasional puddle

ive been looking around and ive figured out that im doing a 2 inch leveling kit and a rough country 4 inch suspension lift for around 500 dollars which is cheaper then i wuld have expected. but with the 4 inch suspension would i need to add a driveshaft spacer?

 

[mr1996ranger]

and if so wat size spacer shuld i need?
