I have a 97 ranger x cab with a James Duff 3inch lift right now. I put 33x10.50s on it and they rub a tiny bit on the front bumper. What all do I need to get a little more out of it to clear these tires? Can I just swap springs since I have all the drop brackets already? I called JD but they are closed right now Is there anything else besides suspension that would need to be replaced like drive shafts?

if you have the drop brackets then yes, you can swap springs, or you could stack washers under neath your current springs.

or you could trim your front bumper a little bit...

instead of buying a ton of washers like is stated in the tech library i took the moon shaped washers for the radius arm bushing kit and flipped them so they covered the nut, then you can stack some smaller washers on top of those.
