if i crank up my toursion bars will i have room for 33'S? I already got 32 with a 3 inch body lift????

 

if you got an 01-up edge. I don't know about any others. I'll be buying 33s about mid december

 

I got a 1996 ext cab 4x4

 

Wait for Zach stone to get on here, he'll know.

 

96, so no torsions. You'r 4x4 with a 3" bodylift. Yes, You can fit 33" tires on there.

 

uhhhh...didn't catch that...Have you even looked underneath your truck or are we both wrong?

 

dumb *** question!? whats the bars look like?? I think i do

 

Torsions weren't added until 1998 when they got rid of the Twin I-Beam setup and went to the coilover / Torsion bar set up.

 

so i guess thats a no? ok i just get the 4 inch lift then

 

wow, good thing I asked.

 

Your trucks front end should have beams that look similar to this correct?

 

yes they do look like that just not as extream to fit 33's you can use a 2" front leveling block if the front is sagged and a body lift

 

yes

 

I already got 2" leveling kit on it

 

ok i didnt know that put the stats of your truck in your signature so we know when answering technical questions ok...

now just add a 3" body lift on the truck and if you get new wheels use a 15x8 and dont go over a 3.75 back spacing on the wheels you might run into problems

 

he said at the top he's got a 3" BL

 

Get extended I-Beams, 16" King C/O's in the front running on 15" limit straps and put 35"s with Glass

 

i edit my sign now. But yes I got a 3 inch body with 2 inch leveling kit. 32" tires

 

1. I think that is a 2WD truck
B. no way that thing has torsion bars - not with that much travel
III. you would not have torsion bars and front coils from the factory (ever) on a Ranger

 

I like your systematic approach to numbering Neil

I thought pre-97s had TTB? I suppose I'm wrong tho. What years were they that had TTB?

 

80s some to 97 were ttb with coils

98 and up is ifs with torsion bars, but the xlt(2wd) has coils.

 

I believe that TTB = twin traction beam and deals with the drive system and not the suspension
modern XL and 2WD XLT Rangers have coil springs, but no torsion bars
you might find a torsion bar Ranger with modification giving it coil over shocks and they could still be running the original T-bars
some day - god willing and the tide does not rise too high I will convert to the RCD suspenion and leave the T-Bars behind
RCD uses a coil over suspension that is strong enough to keep the front end up

 

yeah, 2500 bucks...ha! well, at least for us 2wd edge folks. you FX4ers got it easy.

 

81-97 2wd had TIB (twin i beam)
91-97 4wd had TTB (twin traction beam)

both were coil sprung with radius arms coming off the pivot arm(s).

u could fit 33s with a 3" BL but the 2" leveling kit up front helps with ride and handling.

torsion bars were a 1998+ thing.

 

ooooookkkkk....................................... ......
