3 inch lift with 33s
 
Looking for pictures of a ranger with some 33s on a 3 inch lift

4x or 2x ?

I know this isn't a 3" Lift but I wanted to state that this is a 4x with 5+ inches of lift with 33" BFG Tires and they still hit on tight corners or heavy bumps.

Mine has a Superlift with Skyjacker Softride FR34 leaf springs and 33" MT's with no rub at all..

Know that your high center of gravity makes flipping in turns at higher speeds a serious ptobability

It’s a ranger it’s not meant for formula 1

Maybe, my '88 STX High Boy was but not sure about the EDGE.

I would have liked 6" but it is what it is !

After looking at this older picture, I like that look... Slotted Aluminum Wheel, maybe I will go back to these, LoL !

I’m pretty sure the all xlts come with a factory 2 inch block don’t quote me on that but that might be why some 4x2s need more lift than 4x4s to clear 33s

exactly

A lot of the clearance issues are due to the width of the tires and the offset of the wheels. I run 33" tires on stock FX4 Alcoa wheels with only a 1.5" T-bar crank. I take it off-road in some pretty rough conditions and don't get any rubbing. The tires are only 10.5" wide and the wheel offset is factory and that makes it work. I know most guys want wider tires with them sticking out past the fender for appearance but I go more for functionality over appearance because I take long trips off-road and looks don't get me through the bad stuff, capability does.
I also don't want too much lift because I am loaded down pretty heavy with supplies and gear for 7 to 10 days worth of camping. I go through some pretty steep side angle sometimes and want the center of gravity as low a practical. I like the look of lifted trucks but it would not work for me.
