Well, she's not officially purple. She was blue but Ford, I swear to god, has the sh***iest paint ever. My mom's '06 Focus also suffers from epic paint failure.

Anyway. I inherited this from my mom. She claims the dealer said it's factory lifted. Right now it has 255/70/16's on it. Is it? After seeing pictures on here it doesn't seem very high, but it sits taller than other Rangers I see on the road. I have big plans for it! Just making it work for the time being.

Deep wedgewood blue is a beautiful thing... if you don't like it, you haven't ran it down enough tight trails :D

But yes, it's all kinds of stock. You can fit bigger tires than that on there.
 
if that has t-bars, they must be cranked then...front gap is more than usual
 
Thanks guys. I've researched my lift options. I see how expensive it is if you want anything effective.. :pissedoff:

Ah well, I guess I'll be saving for a long, long time. You all have respectable rigs, I'm thinking in the mean time I'll put plates under the whole thing, lock up the diffs, and just use the bump/scrape/slide over obstacle approach!
 
it is nice. you could find a used rcd kit for a bit less than a superlift i think

If anything it'd probably be more, as it is rarer and better. IF you can even find one.

That's why I decided to solid axle mine. Then I ran out of money because I'm a broke college student. Then I decided to part it out and start building a rig a lil more low buck and bolt in.

If I could do it all over again... superlift with coil over conversion. Just so I could have kept it as my dd. Woulda saved me a lot of money in the long run.

Gap looks normal to me, Pictures arent good enough to see if its level or the angle of the LCAs to see if they are actually cranked.
 
Scott it has smaller tires, hench the bigger gap. Hell, even 265/75's look small IMO.
