all your front end components will **** out faster and the ride sucks. just get a body lift, its even cheaper than that


btw, 265 is the width of the tire, nothing to do with the height so that doesn't really tell anything.

Plus the pre-keys only give lift to the 2006+ rangers.. that came sitting lower than the 2005 and below I believe. You would be wasting your money.

Like "LoL Wut" said.... get a body lift for like $200, and then put 33's on it.

those are different from the pre-keys they're actual "lift keys"

pre-keys are just 98-05 keys in an 06+ but still, that kit isn't worth the money at all. maybe just the AAL
