well the truck has 5" (3bl,2" lift coils) of lift... but it looks like 35s well be to stuffed,

so i was going to get,
4" rc lift with new leafs
2" pucks for the front
2" lift shackles for the back
and it has a 3" body lift
so that would total 9"


but if 9" is way to much lift for 35s then i well just stop at the 7" of lift.

You have a Gen 3 not Gen 2 ranger/mazda. Look at Metro55's truck. He has 11" with 35's I believe.

i know you want bigger tires, but you gotta start thinking about the strength of your axles. yes it might be alright to drive around with big tires, but you axles will be time bombs and wont stand any abuse! they will explode and wont be able to handle the extra weight and overall circumference.. that gen 2 might have have either a d28 or d35.. i ran 35x14.5s on my ttb d35 and blew it up (ball joints failed and wheel bearings graneded and failed) in under 1 year!! so think about that... plus gearing to push the tires..

it's all the driver, that's how **** brakes , you have to know when to stop and pic a new line befor something brakes..

35" will do me just fine with a Dana 35 ttb.

i don't know what gen it is? my truck is a 97 Mazda b4000 is that a gen 2 or 3?
