Hey guy's, Im a new member and would like to say I have been a fan of your site for awhile. As far as ranger info you guy's seem to have just about everything. I currently have a 1998 XLT Supercab and other then the dynomax exhaust, K&N cold air kit, and the 30" yokohama's and an ARE tonneau cover it is pretty stock. I am thinking about putting a Truxxx torsion key lift on the front and a set of 32" tires on. If anyone has any info on the pros and cons of these please let me know. I am not a big fan of bodylifts and cannot justify $1500 for a superlift at this time just for hunting. Thx.

Welcome to TRS. As far as your questions- The torsion keys will wear out suspension parts alot faster. I am not a fan of the body lift either but, it will allow for bigger tires while maintaining the factory ride and susp geometry. Super lift sells only the front kit also, then you go Chevy drop shackles(raises a ranger) or aal in the rear. Hope this helps.

some lifts make you cut it, some make you move it. youll have to investigate before you buy any specific lift. welcome to trs, im in toledo...
