2007 Ranger on 35s? help/questions

[fyamoahaxracer]

Hey guys, new user/first post, I read these forums all the time tho-
I have a 2007 RegularCab Ford Ranger Sport 8.8rear 4.10 gears manual transmision.

Im wantting to lift my ranger, possibly 3" body lift with 33s, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what a 3" body 3.5" spindle lift with 35s would look and be like? im not wanting to change gears or do too much, any input will be greatly appreciated.

I understand the 07 sport is like the 01-04 edge sittin about 2 inches higher that the xl and xlts? I have seen one picture on an 04 regularcab edge on 35s and it looked SICK! And any pictures on 35s would also be great.

Is going from 27" tires to 35s way to much? Im wanting to stick with 15" rims and all terrain tires, thanks for all the input and thought, and any other advice would be great, Thanks

also the truck is black, I have been looking at the DC-1 black rims, I dont think I want completely black rims but nothing to shinny, any rims advice? Thanks

Um, going from a 27"-33" tire you really need to do a gear change... 35's no doubt you would...

ok, and thanks. What gears do you think would be best for 33s and 35s? I have 4.10 gear ratio right now, how much would the 33s bogg down with that? Thanks,

3.0L I assume??

I'd definately suggest regearing to 4.56 or even 4.88. You've got one axle to deal with....so don't bitch. lol.

I know there's a member over at RF who has a 0405ish Edge regcab running 35's by the name of DCRVP...I think he's bodylifted and spindled. Any 01-07 Edge/sport would fit your pic searching needs......still all torsion bar and basically 4x4's without a front axle.

Best I can find right now....is Ryan's Razorsedge truck....4x4 through with 5" RCD suspension and 3" body and 35x12.50s...

4.56's would be good if you plan on switching between 33's and 35's (winter/summer, or DD/wheeling). If you plan to stick with 35's I'd go to 4.88's, especially if you have a 3.0L.

That truck looks great! thanks,

Here's more of the same truck.....but back when it was a 2wd.....

1st pic is Spindle and 32's I assume.
2nd pic is Spindle, bodylift, and 35x12.50's.

I got a couple OLD pics of mine.
