2002 Ranger 2x4, auto, stock rims, how big can I go on tires on stock rims with no lift because i have heard alot of negative on body lifts.
Need some help Thx

 

31s are perfect

 

31s will probably rub on a coilsprung truck. i guess a majority of the trucks on here are negative then because body lifts are quite popular

 

I haven't had any problems with my BL other than crappy instructions...

 

What you have heard is bullcrap.

There is nothing wrong with running a bodylift....run one and you can have a bigger tire. Its nothing to worry about, 2/3 of all rangers every made probably are running bodylifts.

 

I'm in the 1/3rd not running one and am proud of it!

 

I wouldn't be running a bodylift,but i didn't want to drop $1500 on a 4" lift when i could have a 5" lift for $350 lol

 

I'm running a BL, you can kinda see my V8 from the side with it.

I can't really think of any negatives.

Bigger tire = more ground clearance, whether you clear it with suspension lift or body lift is up to you.

 

so in all if i dont wanna do A body lift the biggest i can go is 31 cuz ive seen some 35s and im staying with stock wheels

 

Honestly, you could probably fit 40's if you get acquainted with the sawzall.

 

32x11.50 will fit. just do shackles and i mild t-bar crank

 

I ran 31s with no lift on my stock 4x2 for awhile. When I came off curbs and such they rubbed really bad and I took a piece out of the rubber on my fender once. It's close, I wouldn't go higher than 30s with no lift.

I am running a spindle lift. It was $400 for the front, plus $50 alignment kit and $50 alignment. Also you have to do rear lift and rear shocks to match. Another $100.

 

*facepalm*

Not an Edge (I assume), and not a 4x4. No t-bars. 32s would rub on all sides.

 

my buddy has an 01 B3000 4x2 and we cranked the hell out of his t-bars and put a 2.5" block in the back and he ran 33x12.50 fine.

 

What part of "He might not have t-bars" is unclear?

Unless he has the t-bar suspension then yeah he can run 33s. But most 4x2s are coil spring suspension so they can only run up to 31s.

 

So 31x11.5 are solid for a 4x2?

 

10.5 to be safe but yeah

 

2001 and up 2wd run the tortion bars in the front so yeah you could crank it but honestly dude jsut get a suspension lift. i spent roughly 700 for 3 inch drop spindles 1 inch coil spacers 4 shocks and blocks for the rear. yours will deffinstly be different obviously because i have coils and you have tortion.

for your truck im looking at $668 for a 4 inch $778 for a 5 inch and a little over a grand for a 6 inch
otherwise i dont think ride height changed much from the 98-2000 twd and the 01-05 2wd soo right now im funning 235/75/15 on all stock suspension and no trimming. with the 4 inch lift ill have the 33s in there. hope this helps

 

98+ XL and XLT 2WDs have coil spring suspension

2000 Trailhead, 01-05 Edge, and 06+ Sport have torsion bar suspension

Both can be lifted with body lifts or lift spindles. XL/XLTs can be lifted with coil spring spacers. Trailhead/Edge/Sport can have torsion bars cranked.

There ya go. Plain and simple.

 

Go big or go home!

 

Amazing thanks where did you get those numbers

 

That is freeking stupid... and ugly

 

Me? I'm just an encyclopedia of Ranger knowledge like every member here lol. Especially 98+ 2WD Ranger knowledge.

 

I have 32x11.5r15 on my ranger and the only place the are rubbing is on the lower part of the front fender and the bumper I am getting a 3" body lift and a 2.5" coil spring lift to clear the front fender and i added 2" spacers behind the front stock bumper.

Other than the bumper and the back of the fender there is 2.5" in the fender to wheel the back i have 6.5" all of the way around.
