92 with a 2" lift and leveling spacers in the front with 31's




The 31's fit before the lift and level, but the fenders were cut too.

now seeing some pics im thinking maybe......3'' body lift. then slap the 32s on there and then adding a leveling kit with 2'' blocks in the back. 5'' lift with 32s. sound good?

My exact setup . Ranger #2 has a 3" body lift, 3" blocks in the rear, and stacked, welded washer coil spacers (~1.5") in the front. ~5" lift. Running 32x10.50 swamper radials, I have no rub on anything, even at full stuff and full lock. My D28 Ujoints hate that. No pics tho; I don't have a digital camera. Hope this helps.

Just so you know....you can fit 31's on that generation RBV with no lift at all.

Might as well save the headaches.

Short answer NO , long answer NO the tire deforms to much and it is a bitch to get them on and off and most tire shops will not even consider it.
