I used to research and ask about fitting tires on my 96 ranger single 2wd. its also a 4 cyl with 3.73 gears.
People said ill ned 4.10 gears, at least a 2-4 inch lift etc. etc. WEELLL, I went against everything i was told and slapped on some 33" Procomp M/T's on Mustang Cobra rims.
You dont need a lift, fiberglass fenders are much easier to install and does the job right.
Suspension travel isn't amazing, but its a stock suspension (good for daily driving)
Im my case, the backspacing is a bit close so at full turning radius, itll rub a little, but with the right rims, turning is perfect.
Stock gears (3.73:1) are perfectly fine. You can cruise at low rpm's going at a good speed. Accelerating just isnt the best compared to the stock wheels. (remember i have 2.3l)
Ride is a bit rougher, but I love it.
Here is how it looks. If you guys want it a bit higher for your own liking, go right ahead and get some stock spacers to give it 2 inches higher.
It works and you wont have to buy the lift beams or any extremely pricey product. The fenders are a bit of $$$, but nothing compared to the suspension kits.
Oh and the tires migt look close to the bumper, but it never ever touches the bumper at all.
Any questions?
