I have a 2011 Ranger Sport 4x4, and i'm very close to installing a superlift, and body lift, and torsion keys. What i would like to know is What ADDITIONAL parts should i go out and buy to "Compliment" the superlift.

wanting to run 33-35"
4.56 gears front and back?
front driveshaft?
are the superlift shocks good, or should i opt for something else?if so, what?


lets here it guys. Please Let me know what you think based on personal experiences with this kit. Thanks a million! :icon_cheers:

If it were me....I'd opt out of the Superlift shocks for some Bilstien 5100's.

If you're going with 33s, get 4.56s. If you're going with 35s, get 4.88s. I'm running 35s and 4.56s and it's not bad at all, but 4.88s would be great. Sounds like you are getting enough lift for 35s, so I'd go with 4.88s.

'07-earlier torsion bar keys.
The Superlift driveshaft will last longer.
For 35's you will need a body lift also.
With 33's a 4.56 gear will put the rpm vs. road speed close to stock. With 35's you should run a 4.88 gear. The late-model front end is not happy with tires larger than 33's however.
