hey guys
i have a 2006 2wd ranger sport. i want to lift it enough to fit 32" tires. i was thinking of doing a 3inch spindle lift in the front and 2inch add-a-leaf in the back. what to do you guys think? and could you guys post some pics of ur 2wd rangers for me? also i want to replace my 60/40 seats to some bucket seats with a center console, any ideas where i can get seats.

 

I have a 2002 2wd Edge with a 3" body lift and clear my 33s with no problem

 

Look at my thread i just posted with my new spindle lift, same thing you want to go for. https://www.ranger-forums.com/f36/fa...t-pics-117094/

 

Here is my 04 Edge with 33s and no lift. just a T-bar crank. Does the 06 Sport sit low?

 

No, same height as earlier EDGE models.

 

32's should clear with barely any rubbing even with no lift or tbar crank

 

Lies lies lies... I got 32s and even with a tbar crank( max ) I rubbed everywhere I went, every turn and it was the worst mistake of my life. I listened to a few select people on here that said I can go 285s with a crank and won't rub but they failed and lied to me. It's okay though cause it's all fixed with the suspension lift but just beware! And dont listen to everything you hear on the Internet I have got alot of false info from these forums where people think they know what they're talking about but in reality sometimes they just give an answer because they "remeber" seeing it on the forums or what nit

 

even measuring it out 32" tires cant fit with a t crank and no lift there just no way.

 

He said his truck is the same height as an early edge(which I own) 31's have an 2 inches clearance on everything(I can provide pics) and I have NO torsion crank.


And andrew 285/75/16's are a 33 not a 32. So whoever said that is retarded lol

 

Here is my 04 edge again. 33s and a T-bar crank. No rubbage at all, anywhere with stock wheels.





I looked up pics of the 06 sport, and it looks like it would have the same clearance as mine.

sorry my bad i didnt read it right. you are right 31s will fit. i think thats all im going to do for now is get 31s and later on a level kit? what you think??

 

285's arent 33's they are 32.8s but i do get your point. I was told by numerous people that 285 would fit when it actually wasnt true.


This is true you may not rub but you truly have no flex which in your case may or may not be a bad thing but i am just pointing this out. If you go with aggresive tires people normally get a 3" body lift to go with it.

 

sorry if i came off like a twad lol. I'm puzzled why you were havin issues still though.

I agree 33's with no acual lift doesn't give you much room for flex.

but back to the original point. 3" spindle lift with 32's is a perfect combo. 33's fit well and still have room for some flex but fabtech actually does recommend a 32 with "minor trimming" which from all the kits i've put on the newer silverados and the spacer kits for the tacomas is literally no trimming. maybe a mudflap delete but thats it lol

sidenote-what backspacing do you have andrew? Maybe that was the issue?
I've seen more than once where the wheel manufacturers put the incorrect backspacing on wheel boxes. when i got my 20's in for my silverado 2 of them were actually different than what was stated from american racing haha. but me being the lazy a$$ i am i just staggered them lmao. makes rotates a pain but whatever

 

back to the origional question about what to do.
i did shackles in the back and got 1.5 lift and it was cheap and didnt change the ride like an AAL does.
