What other parts do I need to Upgrade?

[2007RangerSport]

If I were to put a 3" Fabtech Spindle Lift and a 3" PA Body Lift (gross)
On my 2007 Ranger Sport 2wd
And have 35x12.50 tires. what other parts would I have to upgrade to accommodate the lifts and tires?

None, suspension lift should clear it. How bout making it 4x4 so that you don't look like another poser with big tires on a 2wd.

Because it looks sick!
And Ive justified my 2 wheel drive
Way to many times to be called a poser haha

I have my Locker ... It gets the job done.

 

[2007RangerSport]

And I don't really want 4x4...
Just more stuff to end up breaking.

You'll have to replace those 4.10 gears

 

[2007RangerSport]

Yea I read that I would have to make them 4.88. It's like $230

 

[daniel3507]

You're looking around double that for the install too.

Your joking right?
I've gotten pretty good in my pumpkin
Locker ;P

I'd have that done in no time...

Have at it then. The thought of changing gears is a pain I'm the ass to me haha. Worry about the backlash, making sure it's all perfect, I just know its not for me haha. I'm not good with super precise work. I'll probably do the locker myself but am glad I didn't do the gears. Did you do the 4.10s yourself?

Installing a lock-right does not take near the mechanical ability setting up your ring and pinion does.

My truck came with the 4.10s on the 8.8" I put in my locker... That's all I'm saying

If you havent done gears before my advice to you is dont attempt it. I think other people here will say the same thing as well. Installing a lock-right is a far cry from installing new gears.

You need the right tools and a lot of time and patience to do gears. Make sure you know EXACTLY how to do it and don't short cut any step. Doing so will mean replacing your entire rear end.

And I have a hard time imaging a 2wd following the footsteps of a 4wd on any decent trail. Dirt roads with a 6inch rock in the middle don't count. My opinion is its a waste to put bug lifts and tires on 2wd trucks. No matter how much skill you have you aren't going to follow a 4wd everywhere.

This is all very true
But only being a 17 year old kid
(who has to maintain and make last)
I'm generally not too hardcore on my truck. Every once in a while we go to trails and have fun getting eachother stuck... But nothing really needs 4x4... I'm proud of where my 2x4 gets me. And I just love how they look with lift and tires

So gears are hard to do??
How much would a solution to the "difficulty" problem cost?
