performance accessories 3" body lift -$180

cheap 2011 leveling kit and shackles, got on ebay -$150

 

Thank you, love the truck. It looks awesome.

 

hey there, just curious what year Performance Accessories 3" Body Kit did you buy? Mines also a 2011. The only difference is that it is has the FX4 Package. I'm looking to put a body lift on mine as well and i just want to make sure that i have all the facts right.

I've been reading on this forum here that torsion keys are bad for your truck and i don't want anything to wear out pre-maturely. I don't know if its good to add Lift Shackles and Torsion Keys together though like this little kit here... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/98-11-Ford-Ra...item1c21cfedd6

did you buy the Gap guards too? or are they even necessary?

I don't plan on changing the tires or rims unless it looks funny with the body kit. My truck has Wrangler Duratrack tires on it already so it looks alright.

i wanna know the best combination for the safety of my truck i'm just not 100% sure what is best yet... mostly worried about the torsion keys that everybody talks about on here..

if anybody else could help would be great too!

Thanks,

I put keys on my ranger and experienced some mild vibrations. I only ran mine about 18000. Drivers axle was letting go, but I had mine turned way up. Not to mention ride stinks after. But, it looked awesome when done. Like the owner of this ranger, truck looks great. With all that said, ordered my stuff this morning. Damn the ride and burn the axles....

 

Truck looks good, 35’s nice.
I like the blk grille with the blk valance.

Maybe another color but that looks OK.

 

Bradey, you can do keys and shackles. I did keys and AAL. Pretty much the same IMO. One offers more flex the other offers more payload.

 

okay cool, so what you are saying is that the cvs and everything should be okay? just as long as i put in shackles or AAL? i wonder if you could do both shackles and AAL?

 

and if i dont crank the torsion bar too much?

 

Might I clear up a matter, by adding a leaf, you dont increase payload, you make the vehicle able to carry the payload easier. Unless you change the frame and the way the suspension bolts to it, payload is not increased. Just don't want anyone to get wrong idea and over load their vehicle and harm themselves or anyone around them.

 

Thanks, I think that is what I was trying to say.

 

Hey, I was just wondering exactly was size and brand these tires and rims are. If anyone knows what they are or a look alike of these would be please respond. Thanks so much.

 

think he said 35 Mickey Thompson claws on steel rims. mine are 34 10.50 15 super swampers ltb on 15x8 ion rims.

 

Nope - those are BFG KM2's.

According to this post of his - they are 35x12.5x15 Bfg KM2s, on the generic & basic steel Pro-Comp wheels (every company on the planet makes some): https://www.ranger-forums.com/vehicl...0/#post1945932

 

Sweet thank you. Could you post a picture of yours or email it to me?

 

Search works pretty well. Just click his user name, click stats and click find all threads started. This is who you meant when you PM'd me. I got it now.

 

to the OP
Your cv's look like kinda a steep angle. And if you plan to wheel it, you are gonna need more lift in the back, or crazy bump stops. Im guessing its a street queen tho, since it looks soo sharp.

If I do a 3in lift in the front & 2in in the rear with a 3 in body lift would 33s look dumb on an 02 ranger & will I have to change any of my drivetrain

 

It probably wouldn't look awful, but there would definitely be some wheel gap. But, nobody makes a 3" suspension lift for 1998 and newer 4x4 Rangers. Your only lift options are a body lift or the 4" super lift.

 

Hi, I have a 2008 ranger that i am getting a 3inch front lift and a 2inch rear lift. Will 31 inch tires fit well and look beefy

 

They'll fit. It'll look a little goofy. You can fit 31's with a t-bar crank. A 3" Bl will clear 33" tires.

 

I have 31"s on my 08 and am researching doing a 3" body lift and putting 33"s on. Is there a body lift people recommend? What do you guys think about putting 1" or 2" wheel spacers in? Will the 33"s rub the fender lip with wheel spacers on? Should I be doing the shocks at the same time? If I should do the shocks, what size should I be considering?

Check out that link...

 

My question is...Is it necessary to lift my Ranger 4x4 1999 to use 33's??? or with wheel spacers will work???...Thanks.

 

Hi, I know this is an old post. But do you still have this truck?

Thanks.
