Not sure what gears I have need to gear up for 30's. What gears should a 96 ford ranger 2.3L 2wd manual transmission have in it for 30" tires?

I would use 4.56. Chances are it has 3.45 stock.

for 30 inch tires, i'd go with 3.73 or 4.10. these are the 235/75x15 or 30x9.50 size tires. they both will measure less than a full 30 inches in most brands. check your door tag or the axle tag to see which gears are in there now, as you might not have to re-gear at all. 4.56 would be overkill unless it is a trail rig. you should have plenty of power for the 3.73 gears and the 4.10 gears wouldn't cost you too much in lost gas mileage. imho.

you shouldn't need to re-gear at all. you could probably do 31's with out re-gearing. it really all depends on what you are planning on doing with it. if it is gonna stay on the road you should be fine. If you are going off roading i would do 4:10's or 4:56's
