Tire size probs

I have a 2003 ranger edge, does anybody know what the biggest size tire i can go with without a lift kit. And if i need a lift it would be a 3 inch body lift.

32's fit mostly with little to none rubbing, some 4x4's have been able to fit 33's.

If you were going with largest without lift I say crank the torsion bars and add 32's

33x12.5x15 on 15x8, ***Minor*** trimming on the inner front valance, and a T-bar crank and your set

33's fit, with minor rubbing, the bumper can be trimmed to fit it..

But you might rub at high flex..



With a 3" body... If your going to do it.. get the 33's...

thanks

Alright thanks guys, so it sounds like a body lift and 33's would be fine, now the next trick is getting them.

33x10.5 fit fine with no lift and no messing with the t-bars cause we all know that doesn't affect the bumpstop location right?

Put some 33's on your truck, let your tires do the work!
