buy skyjacker leveling coils for a extended cab with a 4.0l or you can do a washer lift its in the tech library youll get enough lift out of them for what you want they might be a little stiff though i had em in my 2wd and they worked great 31's were no prob and i still had enough room for bigger tires

I think the general consensus here is that you can definitely stuff 31's with leveling coils, and I'd think if you go with slightly larger "leveling" coils like red ranger suggested, you can probably get away with 32's.

Yeah im looking at this build right now and if you look at the pic of it on the ground thats with 31's. Plenty of room for 32's. Especially since im trimming my fenders some too.

Also today i got my explorer leaves. Have to flip the bolts in them. Clean and paint them and other shit on the frame. Install them and the new hangers. Jack front up and take wheels off since a guys buying them.

Just so you know I have a 2in leveling kit and I had to cut about 2in outta my fenders, although that is on a 15x10 with only 3in of backspacing, just make sure you get em on a 8in wide wheel and like 4in of backspacing

Got shackles bolted up. Front hangers bolted up. And the leaf centering bolts out.

Anyone think i should combine the ranger and explorer packs to make a flexy pack around 2.5 lift?

Holly shit i actually got some pics ahaha. Shitty but do the job. Excuse the garage. Brothers trashed it and i need to clean and reorganize it.


Heres the bedlinerd rocker and the green on the cab.



New bracket and bolts! Stupid brackets take for ever to come off and 2 mins to put on.



New leaf with centering pin changed and flipped to work with the ranger soa. They will be cleaned and painted before being put on.



My $70 wheels and tires. The tires arent completely bald but do have tread and will work for now.



Some of the rear is painted. Need more paint to finish the rest.

There were blocks holding read end up,had to use them real quick but there back under.



Truck overall, messy garage,not done and im getting annoyed. Hard to fix a truck with no job.
