How did you get the 1.5" I thought they where 2"? Ive been thinkin about getting some big I think 2" is to much with the stock tires, cause right now im about 40" out back and 37" up front...

Looks real good. I didn't know banks did stuff for gas motors. I thought they were all diesel stuff.

You know the second you put 35s under there you are going to want new gears too...

I know I do. It gets around fine but I miss the way the sport trac jumped when I stomped on the throttle from a stop.

Yes that is my fear! even with going to 33s. Gears are cheap anyway.. lol

I figure if I get 35s I might as well pic up a 3-4" lift kit too right? :rolls eyes:

I feel your pain there... Might as well lift it, might as well re-gear. If you're in the diff you might as well lock it. Hmm... If only I would have kept the ranger longer and bought an F150 instead of the sport trac, I would already have all that stuff!

I guess gears are cheap compared to the freaking cost of the tires.
I forget if you've got 3.55s or 3.73s. The FX4s came with 32s and 3.73s so I wouldn't worry much about 33s if you do have 3.73s.

Ive got the 3.73s, I dont think I could get an F150 with 3.55s. That would just make it that much slower! But I guess its not that slow but try driving a supercharged ranger then back to the F150.

No lockers for me, thats for the ranger.

I didnt realize FX4s had 32s, I cant see going up just 1" in tire size! lol I really want a set of BFGs like yours or a set of Toyos. But I need to stick with ATs. BOO.

then I sit back and think about it, if i was going to spend that much on the f150 id rather spend it on the ranger, so ill keep the tires ive got for now! LOL

Especially flowmasters, believe they are officially just "noisemakers".
I'm sure the Banks makes a small increase atleast, just at higher RPMs like an intake would.
The guy who I'm likely buying the MBRP catback from (SI/SO 3.5") had his dynoed and gained 13 whp, though it was at like 5000 rpm or something. No torque loss at any range, with a max increase of 2 lb-ft. Not much, but it was an increase with no down side.
