Bigger tires...lift kit?
Hey everyone, I'm new to the site here. Got a question. I have a 2005 Ranger FX4 Level II. It's stock now. I don't want to get too ridiculous with it mainly because my pockets aren't too deep, but I would like to put some 33in tires under it. In order to do so, would I need a lift kit? If so, how much and what kind of life (body or suspension)?

Thanks guys, I'll probably do the 3 inch body lift, seems like the most popular reply. i have the stock 15 inch Alcoa rims now... would like to go with the stock brand and make of tire, just bigger... Before I go, what about a performance chip? I've looked and looked, can't find squat, would like to squeeze a few more ponies out of that 4.0
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Go for the body lift!
Hey welcome !!!
Im new to the forum too and i recently just installed a 3in body lift. I would recommend it to someone who's looking for a cost effective way. Check out summit racing. They have really affordable kits for rangers.
If you have problem installing it the guys on hear are really helpful!
They helped me through some pickles...
