good ol project prerunner.....wish they would have finished the build.Or atlest left the old pics up......
I know they say the truck is stock, but i think what they mean its it had the stock stx highrider brackets on that truck. and that gives it anouther 2inches of lift.and that would be aprx 4inches higher then a 2wd. I cant say they do for a fact, but I would say 80% chance on the highrider brackets.
Im sure you could get 33's STUFFED in there but your not going to have much up travel unless you "tub" the firewall.
back in the day, when I had a 87 2wd ranger I had a bent beam kit on it, fenders all cut out and 31's would just catch the fire wall at full bump
And to clear 33's on a old 7s ranger I use to be involved with basicaly a stock truck all caged up good shocks bent beams glass fenders all the way around, to clear 33's with full bump the fire wall had to be "tubed"
but I guess if you limited your up travel to next to nothing you could keep the 33's from rubbing and grinding.but its going to ride like ass.
1 4.0l ranger hopefully it will have 3.73's use you glass money for a used bent beam kit ,throw some 31;s on it(with 3.73s a good running 4.0l 5spd wont be all that bad) use your regear money for some good leaf springs.(for a desert truck I would not put money in to the ranger 8.8,maybe the explorer 8.8,but would prefer a 9inch.) add what ever shocks your wallet can afford, bump and strap so you dont rip apart your shocks. decent working truck for not much money and most of it you can use as you upgrade, and what you cant has a resale vaule......
