33" on a 2000 4 x 4 Ranger

[musicstation]

Hi , I like to fit 33" on my 2000 4 x 4 Ranger ?
Is a 4" body lift kit enough to make room ?
Is a body lift kit a good option ?
Is for street and light off road

I'm running 285/75-16 (33x11.20) on my '99 4x4 with a 1" body lift and a slight twist of the torsion bars.

I run 33" tires on my 02 with only a 1.5" torsion bar crank. However, I am running 10.5" wide 33s. If you want 12.5" wide tires, you will need to lift it and a 4" body lift should work but you will probably need to get wheels with less back spacing to clear the frame when turning.

I have a a 2000 ranger with a 2.5 inch oem lift in the rear with the I think 4x4 leafs (it has 4 leafs instead of 3) with a 2 inch lift kit up front. What's the biggest tire i can put with out rubbing at all? 31s, 32s, 33s?

This is a 2wd ranger that i am lifting, so no torsion bars

So…

There used to be companies that made spindle lifts for the 2wd trucks for the front, Fabtech was one of them. I have no idea what is currently available, you would have to search. If you can weld and fabricate, there’s probably other options to help lift the front.

Body lifts are another option to lift everything to fit, most states allow up to a 3” body lift. Some allow more, some less, you have to check on that. I know PA draws a line at 3” for a body lift.

The number of leafs in a pack doesn’t necessarily indicate 2wd or 4x4.

Stock rear blocks were 1” or 2”

Chevy drop shackles can lift the rear about 2”

31” tires may or may not rub. 3” of lift may clear 33’s. Think there was a guy on here years ago that did 35’s with 6” of lift on his 2wd.

Your transmission and all will probably hate you if you don’t address those. In my opinion, 3.73 gears are minimal for 31” tires and 4.10 gears better. You may be able to get away with 3.45’s but it will be a dog. For 33” tires, you’ll want 4.10 gears for sure. You’ll also need to get into the computer and change to the tire size or it will make a mess of the transmission because that changes shift points based on tire size

I measured the block and it was 2.5" and on it along with other part numbers it said "4x4". So, Just to avoid any issues I think I might stick to a 31x10.50r15 bfgoodrich all terrain tire. Laterrrrrrr on down the road upgrade to an 8.8 4.10 rear end. Sticking to the 31's what issues will run into if any, and who would i take it to for the computer side to adjust for tire size

Biggest issue is adjusting the computer. You either need someone with a professional level scan tool, or a Laptop with Forscan and a link cable. Forscan is a free download. The cables are usually under $50, there are two recommended cables. I don’t think you need an extended license to change tire size, but you can get a free “trial” of the extended license as many times as you want or pay for a yearly license.
