My friend had an 02 3.0L 2wd on 35s with 4.56 gears, it drove really nice. Re-gearing is probably something i'll do further down the road...

 

ok. the truck above also had 4.56s with a 3.0L, he said it was a dog

 

That's cuz it was a 3.0 ;-P lol but damn that truck up their looks SICK! ****, even you should make yous look like that. ;-)

 

i will someday. ive mapped it out and i need like 4 grand.

 

Really though. Oh well. It's all money...That I don't have to spend on my truck right. haha.

 

its unfair man. i have a mental disability where i just have to spend cash on my truck. lol.

 

hahahah understandable.

 

spindles are on and the truck looks awesome!! unfortunately I havent gotten a chance to take pics yet...hopefully I will tomorrow. My 33s looks tiny now

 

Seen this truck before. Have a few pics of it on my computer at home. One of my all time favorite Rangers...even if it is 2wd.

 

you're going to want 4.88's with 35's

I have them on my 4.0 and it does alright. I couldn't imagine anything less.. Blew my trans before I regeared on 35's too. and i'm not the only one thats happened to.

 

I had 15x10 and couldn't flex the rear at all really on 33's

The front hated me too, I was on 3" spacer upfront, shackles out back and a 3" BL

But I'm sure it differs for the newer trucks.

 

I agree with Ty. You're going to want to regear when you get the tires or you will be spending more money down the road.

That looks great man

 

Blew your trans due to-to much strain on your trans for having 35's on it, with factory 4.10's lagging to get up and go?

That's crazy and defiantly has to suck. :-(
How much was the new tranny? Just curious.

 

the question is should i AAL the rear or not?? I kinda like it this way, I like the lean especially cause thats the look down here. I definitely need 35s though and when I get them im getting 4.56 gears for sure.

 

Defiantly raise the rear. Looks good otherwise!

 

Looking good. Tint the windows!

 

free.99. Truck was still under warranty when it happened. haha

and yeah, it was a lot of stress on the trans from the tires. I even had ppl tell me it would happen if I didn't regear soon enough and sure enough.. lol

 

AAL for sure. or you will be hard pressed to even fit 35's in the rear.

and you should really take a look at 4.88's UNLESS you've got a 7.5 rear end, then I Don't think they'll fit... someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I kinda like it...I think im only gonna raise it if 35s rub

thanks. Tint is on my list, hopefully in the near future
I have the 8.8 rear. If 4.56 gears aren't any cheaper than 4.88s then I'll take your advice and get 4.88 cause I definitely do NOT want to have to replace a transmission. I already have to replace ***** joints and tie rods...

LOL, They do that around here too. The chevy boys run 33's all the way up into the rear wheelwell and a 3in lift up front, looks stupid.

Your's looks good though and will look even better on 35's. Love the semi-black hood!

 

theres a ton of squatted single cab silverados around here with flipped blocks in the rear and maxxed out ford keys in the front on 35s...they rub over every speed bump

 

Yeah tell me about it. I would hate to take one of them on a long trip somewhere riding like a tank..
