What size tires are you trying to clear and whats the primary function of the rig? Ie mall crawler, dd, rock crawler, mud bogger, weekend trail warrior ect.

well, 31x10.50's will fit stock....so why bother lifting it ( other than leveling it ).....

i did 2" spacers on the front of mine and ran 32x11.50's with no real issues...other than a small rub on the factory front valance, which i cut...

l8r, John

i have the 4 inch Rough Country with the Add a Leaf and a 3 inch body lift on my truck right now. i am running 33X13.5 R15 Nitto's or 35.14.5 R15 Pitbulls depending on what we are doing.
the 33's dont rub at all no matter what i do, but the 35's rub because they are so wide. It only rubs on the front fenders right near the door.

here's pics of it with the 33's.

to add to my pist/pics, i did this 2 years ago, and did the body lift last year.

after doing four rangers, i would have gone for a body lift right out of the gate then saved up money for a real good suspension setup from Skyjacker or James Duff.
Duff always has a spot close to me because they are so damn cool to work with!

i am planning on a fullwidth D44 front axle with a duff kit for end of october/early november and next year converting the rear from leafs to coils with another Duff kit.

if you dont mind your insides rattling around when you go over things, a rough country is good, and wont break the bank. ive already bent my drivers side drop bracket, and hadto replace it (awesome overseas metal parts!)

Thanks guys your all good helps too haha, im not going to be doing crazy rock crawling but I will be mud bogging and trail riding do you think the rough country and a 3 in body lift will be ok for that?

Mudding and light crawling was what I did with it. Now I hate mud! It gets into everything and I can't tell you how many starters I've replaced because if it. Light mudding only now and alot of rock and climbing.

The rough country will be okay for you for what your doing.
I'm not trying to push or sell anything.... But there's something to be said about looks And great performance combined too. And the duff or skyjacker extended arm kits just look badass and are a major upgrade over a rough country.

I would do the body lift and throw money into a real good set of tires. Tires make a huge difference in what you can and can't do. Before i had a locker, i was doing obstacles people told me i had no chsnce in hell getting over because of a resk good set of tires, and a lack of fear in banging the girl up! With the 3 in body lift you can do 33"s if you dint mind some rubbing. And if you want, get the 4" rough country, and you'll have no issues at all.

If it's going on your 94 ranger and you'll do mudding I would suggest looking at your air intake. Mine was right behind the bumper on the passengers side. I learned the hard way that a snorkel was a top priority!
I even got close to water/mud and my ranger was like a fat kid on a milkshake! Water in, and engine stalled! Not good for an engine.
