Leveling front for bigger tires

SeaBass · Jan 18, 2008

Hello,
I plan to purchase new torsion keys to lift/level the front end of my 2002, Ranger FX4 Off Road. I would like to upgrade from the stock 31" tires to 33" MT's. Would simply leveling the front allow for the bigger tires or should I be looking into leveling and lifting the entire truck?

Thanks.

You should be able to fit 33x10.50R15 tires on the stock rims no problem just by turning up the torsion bars about an inch or so (2" max).

I would not use aftermarket torsion keys though, the stock keys should already allow you to crank the suspension to the maximum height that would still be safe for your balljoints and CV axle shafts. Any higher and you'll likely run into accelerated wear issues on those items.

Hope that helps
