Okay. If you've read my intro, wicked. If not, then here's the basics:

I have a 1993 Ranger XLT 4x4 with a 4.0L 5 speed that is bone stock apart from my stereo.
It is my Daily Driver, so it has to be streetable, and I want to be able to clear 33's. It'll mainly be used for pavement, with some gravel roads in between. I will occasionally take it onto the trails and I'm lost as to which lift I should install, and how much of a lift I'm going to need in order to clear the 33's. A few I know of are SkyJacker, Tuff Country, Rough Country, and AutoFab. I know there's more out there, but I'm lost as to which one will be the best for my application.



Any ideas............

 

whats an autofab lift?

 

This is the link to the kit.

http://www.autofab.com/mdl28kit.htm

I found it on TRS in the tech. library

 

Did u see the price? $3600! That is long travel for a 4wd.

 

16" of travel is up there.

 

So i guess autofab is out then lol

 

Any ideas as to which kit is best suited for me? I'm sick of stock height, the truck belongs in the air with some decent sized tires under it lol

 

Just put a bodylift on.

 

I don't like body lifts. Besides I need to replace a bunch of the components anyways, like the front coils for instance. I may still do a body lift later on if I find 33's to not be enough. That and I want to be able to say I have a lifted and a lowered truck lol

 

that autofab one seems pretty sweet, but idk anything about them.

 

Body lift alone wont clear 33's for his year truck i believe...

 

Correct

 

get a super lifttttt

 

Slammed, your best option is actually going to be a Skyjacker.

Here's why.

The Drivers beam or axle lift brackets, which bolt up to the passenger side for the TTB suspension, the Skyjacker is gussetted, whereas the others are not. How is this important? If you notice on this one, this is an example of a Superlift bracket, there are 2 tabs tab where the bracket bolts up to the frame that breaks . The Skyjacker, as it is gusseted, doesn't have this problem.

Broken bracket


The 2 tabs on the top are the ones that break


Here's a couple examples my buddy Mark (BLOODBANE) has done on repairing them himself, both on his Ranger and Explorer. Again, with the Skyjacker, they already have the gussets in them.

 

I say Skyjacker as well

 

SkyJacker it is then lol Will I be needing anything else in parts since I've decided on a Class II 4" lift???
