I just got a 6 inch lift from Superlift and I have a Ranger exactly like yours except its a Splash. Like Metalmacguyver, What size Tires are those? Thats the next thing that I need and I am considering all sizes

Yeah the hubs are set in a bit because I have wheel spacers on the truck. With the skinnies (33"/10.50/R15) I wanted them to stick out a bit further than they were so I put on 2" wheel spacers. It's unreal how much better it looked. I have some before and after photos I can post when I get home from work.
I haven't been stuck anywhere yet with this truck (knock on wood). The new BFG muds are unreal and have so much traction. I keep pushing my luck though by going out and risking getting stuck. I don't have tow hooks on the front. I bought a set but they were too short and I couldn't get them to stick out enough thru the wide hole between the bumper and the lower front ferring. Yet another thing on my needs list.
Most important NEEEEED is a 1-piece driveshaft. I had my fingers on one from a wrecker but I noticed a dent in it. Just haven't had the time to go back there and pull another one. With the 6" lift I get a horrible noise whenever the suspension flexes or if I try to drop the clutch. Ever since I got the lift I haven't been able to really giv'er. Which sucks. Soon though...
