How big of lift to clear 31's on 84 ranger 2wd

Rugby · Jan 23, 2015

Hi I am new to this site and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have a stock 84 ranger 2wd and was looking to lift it enough to clear 31's on 15 inch rims. How big of lift would I need and would I need body and suspension or what? Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

Welcome to TRS.
Up at the top of each page in the dark blue header bar are some options. The third from the left is the "tech info" button. Here is a page from that button that should help yu in your research;

4" should do it, as a 4x2 is 2" shorter than a 4x4, and '31's didn't clear until the 2nd gen Rangers in '89 on a 4x4 (and that's tight...). If you want to do it on the cheap, put 1" of washers under the coils and shackles in the back and a 2" body lift and you should be good to go.

I bought my 83 4x4 Ranger in 85 with only about 3,400 mile on it. I put 31's on it and there was no issues at all. My stock 99 Ranger 2wd sat very high from the factory. I added 31's right away with no issues. Post a photo of your truck. I do know that some trucks stock from the factory sat higher or lower than other trucks of the same make. Right after I bought my 99 Ranger new in July off 99 I parked it next to my buddies 1998 Ranger 2wd and he thought I had already done a lift on it since my truck sat much higher than his did.
