I was driving around w/ my friend, I saw this truck at a dealer so we stopped and fell I in love. But then I thought Oh wait I have a Ranger and I can do the same thing to mine lol

I wanna take my stock '02 Edge, good looking truck but could be better

Its sitting on 35's w/ a torsion crank, 2" blocks and a 3" body lift




Needs an alignment pretty bad lol

The nice thing is when I was at work today I was all pumped thinking "Yea I got something I'm working for" Instead of thinking "This sucks I give all my money to the insurance man"

It's a good looking truck. And the one @ the dealership, too! Ha. Those 35's will be a pretty penny though...would you use it mainly for street? What meats you looking for? Glad you have a goal in mind now! Ha...keep us updated!

Yea I was thinking about how much 35's would cost and I think 33's would be a better Idea, and even tho I'm always w/ my friends at some kinda mud hole my truck dose see more street use.

It might be a few months before i get the tires, I wanna let my stockers get wore down some more and befor anything I still need to find a 4.10 L/S axle

Sounds like a plan!

Is it just me, or does that blue truck have a slight camber issue...

Check this site out: www.car-part.com . It's a nation-wide salvage yard search. You can put in your zipcode and search by distance. I found a 4.10 L/S axle from a '00 for $265 shipped to my door.

It's the way the IFS sits, mine sits the same way from time to time

If you want 35's, I say get 4.56 or 4.88 gears though.

You don't want to lower it? I bet your truck would look really good with a slight drop. Plus you don't have any snow to worry about living in Florida.

But it's your truck do what you want with it. It would look good on 33s also.

I'd suggest 33's and a little less of a torsion crank. On my '00 I'm runnin 33x12.5's with a 3" body lift, 2" block, and the torsion bars cranked. It looks sweet and it's a cheap lift, but it's bumpy as all hell. + you get pretty crappy flex.

If you pull off your front sway bars after the crank tho, you don't get too much roll cause the stiffer suspension, and you can still at least some what flex.

You can find a decent set of 33's on craigslist. I got my procomps and rims for 400.


Good luck 3.0
