show me pics of peoples lifted 2x4 rangers. looking for examples. please list what lift youre running also. im gonna buy a ranger this weekend so i wanna see what im getting myself into. also does a 2x4 have torsion bars? sorry if the question is stupid

 

2x4 = wood

4x2 = 2 wheel drive pickup

don't mention it

 

3" Spindle Lift

 

ive got a lot of lifted 2x4s...its called a house...............lol, sorry man had to do it

 

heres a pic of my 2x4 blazer with a 5" fabtech suspension and a 3" body. there werent many else kit that i could find for it so im planning on buying a ranger. i wanna know if i get a ranger will i look higher with a 6" suspension and a 3" body for the 2x4 ranger?

 

theres two lifted 2x4s for you

 

thanks exactly why i left blazer forums.

 

the only cheap enough lift for 4x2 trucks are 3 inch spindle lifts, unless you wanna shell out a bunch of money into camburg lifts

 

If you can't take sarcasm, then you should go elsewhere. This forum is full of it and may or may not be for you.

Second a 2X4 is a piece of lumber, a 4X2 is a 2wd truck or SUV.

 

You guys are a helpful bunch....

 

hey guys sorry about the post didnt know this would turn into a big thing like this. sorry for the comment. and by the way im getting a ford because chevys gave me problems with lifting issues. so im deciding on going into another project. thanks for the sarcasm for those with comments and those who helped thanks. oh yeah im introducing myself now for all who found that not introducing myself was in bad taste. screen name: (cyukio) state: (hawaii) truck: (hopefully find one by the weekend. lift: ill go ask somewhere else)

 

Or maybe more would stick around if people were not COMPLETE *******S to them right off the bat. What do you think?

 

Stick around, all of my stuff was intended in fun! I'm not an ******* on the site here, or at least try not to be. Unfortunately I own 4wds so I don't know much about 2wd lifts except for the 3" spindle lift from fabtech. If you want a badass look on a Ranger, find some 30X9.50 BFG All Terrains and slap em on there. No need to twist the torsion bars, and it gives it a pretty nasty stance. My buddy Eric (whom I'm still trying to convince to get on here) just did it to his 2001 2wd, looks 20X better than the donuts he had on it

 

All bickering has been deleted. There was no need for any of that.

 

I thought the idea was to enjoy being Ranger owners and maybe make a few friends along the way, Sorry, I guess I misunderstood, this is a high school gathering I guess????

 

If you get a new Ranger Sport, it'll have torsion bars, you can crank those, add a spindle lift, and stuff 33's on there.

If you get a regular Ranger (non-sport), you won't have torsion bars. My '98 Ranger (non-torsion bar) has a 3" Spindle and 3" Body Lift with 33's.

Why would anyone lift a 2wd truck anyways? This might be a stupid question, but im not trying to poke fun... I've just never seen a 2wd mud truck...I'm in Iowa and I can only think of one person who OWNS a 2wd truck, much less lifts one

 

For looks or a little bit of offroad performance. I plan on lifting mine 3", but thats just for looks.

 

If done right, 2wd's can be just as good or better than a 4wd can be on the trail. All you're loosing is the front differential. Lock the rear, lift a 2wd, and it'll run with the big dogs. Look at John Griggs, he just now added 4wd!

 

Mudding is not the only offroading. I have a 2wd and have gone through ALOT of mud.

I have gone through enough mud in my 2wd truck to make it look like this:

 

I see... thats a nice looking truck by the way, Roach. I guess the main reason around here for the 4x4 is the Iowa winters... we have had 6+ inches of snow on the ground since the week before thanksgiving... makes it a little tricky getting around

 

cause its not for mud


and alot of times 4x4 guys do most their offroading in 2wd, untill they get stuck


heres a pic of my 2wd with a 9inch lift and 33s next to my stock trac




and heres a muddy pic

 

2wd does suck in the snow, but it's managable. Shoot, yesterday was the first snow all winter I've had my Ranger in 4wd all day. Most of it was because it was icy and starting on ice with no weight in the bed is tough. The other snows this winter, I'll kick in 4wd in spots but it's in a consistant 2wd.

 

My truck is now SAS'd but it was a lifted and offroaded 4x2 for years. The details are in my Cardomain site in my signature. Keep in mind I started with an Edge 4x2 which has the 4x4 ride height to begin with.

 

Thanks! We dont get snow down south
