[feellnfroggy]

35's are actually pretty plentiful here in knoxville. we have 4 or 5 sets available with 5%+ for nto too bad of a price.

dude, were doing the exact same thing. we got the same truck. i been doin nothin but researching the past couple days, what i found is gettin 35s in a ranger is tight. the chart on TRS says u gotta trim the finders wit a 6 inch lift. so i decided to settle with 33s, an im lookin at a 4" suspension lift and a 2" body. ill paste links of the cheapest kits ive found.

I have 2" leveling springs in my 94 and I run 31s. with a 1" body lift I could tuck 33x10.5s. With a 6" suspension or 4" suspension plus 3" body you can run 35s

do ya have rims mounted with them? bout how much would you sell me a set?

 

[feellnfroggy]

tuckin 35's is great, btu remember if you do get around to offroading, being able to tuck without rub and flexin are two different things. I plan to cut my fenders and squash some 33's in there but its temporary. I dont plan to go crawlin with it. LOL

 

[dangerranger94]

yea i no what ya mean. my plans are to make it roll like this one

 

[ChrisR1S]

That truck is 6"suspension and 3" body with 35s. take 2" out like you're saying and you're fenders are stuffed.. why not run a 6" susp. instead of 4"? Price is about the same

 

[dangerranger94]

well maybe i could do the 4in lift and 3in bl. with custom leaf packs and beltech shackles? with washer spacers in the front?

 

[t0x1k]

I'm her to help you out bud.

I took a picture of your truck in the future...
Nah, it's just mine sitting on 35x15.50s and 9.5" of overall lift. Pictures are before the body lift.

Trust me, 15.50s eat bearings quickly! I only ran them for a little while and I had slop in the bearings.

With 6.5" of lift, I was still rubbing hard, even on the street, 4" will just make things worse, forget offroading. Wasn't until the 3" body did I stop rubbing my fenders. I rub only on full tuck in the rear, the front is too stiff to tuck.
My lift was second hand, BL was new. Cost me around $700 not including my expensive rare 9" rear.

Yeah that would work. Instead of custom packs, Have you looked into chevy 64"leaves for the rear? that, the stock block, and the beltech shackle should give the amount of lift you're after. Thats what I'm running on mine if i ever get to putting it on.

 

[schaffer]

I have a 3inch body lift and my truck fits 33s just fine.

At full flex I don't rub in the rear,and well the front end dosent really flex.


So why are you set on getting 35s?

yea i thought of that but i have a 90 ranger parts truck and i thought i could make one leaf pack adding the springs off the parts truck. and spacers up front and stiffer coils and some spacers. could i do that and 3in bl and fit 35's?
