will 33x1250x15 fit on a 97 ranger 4x4? i dont really go offroading so what would i need to do to get them to work.

They will fit with a body lift, but may rub on turns and hard bounces.

how much of a body lift? what about taller springs and shackle?

**Hooligan2c** · 08-01-2012, 06:02 PM

Taller springs and shackles will do as well. The standard body lift is 3" and it is cheaper than a suspension lift.

what part number shocks would i have to go with on rancho brand if i do a 2 to 3 in lift?

i have 33 12.50's on a 97 with a 4" lift kit with 1" boosters in the spings. my rims are 15x10 with a 4.5 offset. and no rub only when flexing or in reveres they rub the lower valance on the bumper. thats not the lifts fault though. youse the tech library for some awsome home built lifts to clear a desent tread. small things like spacers for the springs or just using factory springs from f150s. as well as part numbers for the shocks that will work with the set ups as well as all the parts being cheap and reliable

I have 33's on my ranger with no lift. the front bum,per sides will need to be trimmed and the rear plastic on the inner fender will need to be trimmed. Eventually I trimmed my fenders, but if your just running on the street I wouldnt worry about it. I have 33x 12.50x15
