I'm 16
 
Ranger was my first truck, got it about 4 months ago
It's a 2WD and i don't know whether to raise or lower it...
or how much it's going to cost.

My uncle said he could do it for 100?

Chad16XLT 03-25-2008 06:46 PM

oh and it doesn't have extended cab >.<

Tearloch 03-25-2008 06:48 PM

Depends on how you want it to look... Welcome to the Forum!

zabeard 03-25-2008 06:50 PM

lower

Chad16XLT 03-25-2008 06:50 PM

thanks man.

what do you mean by "look"
as in higher or lower...or is there more to it than that

lol.

Trigger01 03-25-2008 06:50 PM

Welcome to the site. Do you like to play off road or stay on the road ane you into mud or speed? If you like mud and playing off road, lift it. If you like speed and staying on the road drop it.

Chad16XLT 03-25-2008 06:51 PM

would I need to get new tires if i lowered it?

i can post a picture if needed.

Tearloch 03-25-2008 06:53 PM

Balls in your court, and what do you intend on doing with it like Trigger said, you going to play in the mud, or are you going for speed? and put that pic up.

Chad16XLT 03-25-2008 06:53 PM

Me and my uncles play offroad all the time, he's got a lifted ranger as well, along with a few other lifted ones.

But then he's also had a lowered S10, and i liked that too.

I was just wondering what would be best for the 2WD.
:P

enraged_hunter 03-25-2008 06:55 PM

lift it and go play

Chad16XLT 03-25-2008 06:56 PM

how much? $$$$$$.

Ace 03-25-2008 06:57 PM

Well since it's 2wd I'd lower it

Tearloch 03-25-2008 06:57 PM

Use one of his for off roading and lower yours. Take a look at some of the pics posted by other members. Maybe that will help you with your decision.

a 2wd truck is practically usless. if you are gonna lower it for"speed" sell it and buy a car. if your gonna lift it pretty much have to commit it to be a pre runner, but your in bfe no where near the desert so it wouldnt be practical either.

Chad16XLT 03-25-2008 06:59 PM

no truck is useless!

Tearloch 03-25-2008 07:03 PM

Amen Chad!

That's a bunch of crap right there. Just because a truck is 2wd doesn't make it useless. I do some crazy stuff offroad in my 2wd and rarely get stuck.


You ask how much money, it all depends on how far you want to go. I have over 5k in my truck, then zabeard has probably at least 3x that. it all depends how much you want to spend and what all you want to do. Go ahead and post a pic. too.

taknotes 03-25-2008 07:11 PM

winks 03-25-2008 07:26 PM

Chad16XLT 03-25-2008 07:28 PM

Fx4BlackRanger 03-25-2008 07:28 PM

mx98ranger 03-25-2008 07:58 PM

RangerExtreme 03-25-2008 07:58 PM
