Well the 32's might fit with the lift. I think that's basically all he did. He should chime in soon about it.

i dont think you will get 32's under it with only 2" lift. here is a pic of my old 86 longbed with 235/75R15's(29"). i lowered the coil buckets on the frame 2" which got 2.5-2.75" lift at the wheel and added a 2" block to the rear.

you might be able to fit the 32's with a body lift and the coil spacers and some 3-4 inch blocks and take off your front fenders.

Bodylift = 3 inches
Coil spacers = 2-2.5 inches

So you could get 5 or 5.5 inches of lift + you already have the 2 inch lift coils so they
should fit.

Body lift = $110.00 for a 89?-92 ranger on ebay

Here are the coil spacers $105 they r 2" lift

2" coils plus a 2" coil spacer......that gonna be tough to get aligned.

i bet they would fit as is(2" coils) plus a BL, but it would be close. might take some trimmin

*edit, wow i tyep slow. 04 EDGE typed all that alingment stuff too while i was typin...

acully come to think of it i unstall this EXACT set i mean the set that i just took off my truck on a 1991 Hi rise package ranger its a 1991 ranger with a 2" lift kit from the factory and they fit fine. gosh how did i forget about that...

and also dont forget there 32x10.5 no 11 that helps here.. plus mounted on a 16x7 with out a HUGE offset at all...

so it would be best to just get a rough country 4 inch kit with shocks and a drop pitman arm for 500
acully Mark i have 2" lift blocks on my twin i beam with no radii's drop or pitman arm drop and its is aligned 100% in specs i beleave its a 2.25 cam used for aligning. i have the mechine print out if you dont beleave me i can scan it in...

wouldnt that be a 4wd though? so it would be taller because its 4wd, and then taller again with the high rise package...

and your 2wd truck is taller stock to stock than a gen1 or 2.

im jus sayin i dont think the comparison will help. i dont think they will fit his truck w/o more lift.

So will it fit 30x9.5 or 31x10.5 with a 2" lift (coils in the front, 4x4 blocks in the back)?

I plan to get tires by winter, but I'm not sure whether or not to go with 30x9.5 or 31x10.5 on 15x7 wheels.
