Im new here and need help.i have a 1990 fron ranger 2.9 v6 lifte and fenders trimmed. im getting 4 brand new 44's gumbo mudders for 150 great deal from a friend.thewill fit on my truck i was wondering if my truck will run and drive wth them on. the axels are stock

 

besides needing a giant lift your stock axles wont last long with those bag *** tires on them, thats even if that 2.9 can even turn them with stock gearing.

 

Its not going anywhere with stock axles. Gearing is against you and stock axles are only good for 33-35s max. Thats assuming you have a d35 and a 8.8

 

Do it anyway. Take a video of your first time wheeling. I need a good laugh

 

okay so what i got right now is38 ground awsthat have about 20% left wich size wise are about 35 or 36 inches. havnt tried drivig with them yet but i have them would they work i have 2 38's and 2 40's the 40's are abou 36 or 37 inches over all

 

post pics of what you have right now, i want to see!

 

Your in way over your head on this, It's way to much work to put 44's on a ranger, the 2.9 won't turn them and even if your tried you can say bye bye to your drivetrain, stick with 35's unless you plan on making it a project truck

 

44's on a 2.9... and here i was worried when people put 35's on a 3.0....

 

agreed, it's a more than outrageous idea. Not being an ***, but I don't see it happening.

 

how bout 52's on a 2.3 then mite as well go big rite

 

its not impossible for a 2.9 to turn 44's but the gearing that would be required to do it somewhat effectively wouldnt fit in the stock axles.

 

i was about to say one of my friends has a 91 ranger (4.0 5speed) on 44's and it turns them lol. Not saying the motor/trans is happy because it def. isnt haha

 

Yea, maybe with a set of 6.14 gears......but it's impossible without changing axles and a **** ton of modding to the drivetrain.

 

i never said it was impossible, just making a point

 

which makes it possible

 

Figures hes from Florida

 

Bunch of asshats down there, huh?

 

Even with 6.14's it still wouldn't work, just stop. My point is it's not possible on his stock 2.9.

 

here at the local mud bog there's a 4cyl samuri with like 44's maybe bigger and that thing is just funny to watch.the tires dosent even turn fast enough to clean them off,i would say go with 35's or mod the hell out your ranger before you put 44's on it

 

What do you even need 44's for, you live in Florida.

 

Umm... Mud?

 

my friends 91 actually isnt is bad as you might think. yes, i did drive it. would i own it, no, but it is possible

 

YouTube - 2.3 Turbo Ford

Your going to need a setup like this I think to get those things to turn.

 

Not this **** again

How can someone who can't even spell Ford type into google and actually find this forum?

 

Google spelling correction..
