hi my name i justin from tn i own a 1997 2.3 2wd ranger. ive got a magnoflow exhaust on it now and plan on doing much more to the truck.

 

Clean looking truck! Thats what I want to SAS. What are the plans for it?

 

Welcome

 

first new tires and rims then jet performance chip and then a body lift.

if anyone knows any cheap upgrades for a 2.3 that would be appreciated

 

Welcome Justin They are a super crew 'round here.

 

Welcome!

Don't bother with a chip, get a tuner.

 

i cant find a tuner for the 1997 2.3 ive done a lot of research

 

SCT X3 Power Flash Ford Programmer
SCT Part Number: 3000

 

alright i will look into this tuner

 

It's the one I recommend. They are a very well known tuner for the Ford Ranger.

 

do you think throttle body spacer really do anything

 

nahhh wouldn't worry about tb spacer.

just a k&n drop in and airbox mod and call it a day!

and for my .02, truck would look great if ya paint the bumper and grille to black. it would really freshen it up!!

oh and WELCOME!! lol

 

welcome to R-F, Justin!

 

Thanks for all the welcomes

 

I wouldn't do rims and tires and then a body lift. Do it the other way around. You won't be happy with the tiny tires after the body lift.

 

x2 thats how i did it and i ended up damaging the bed with the tires
