I have a 2003 Ranger 4.0 4x4 extended cab. I was wondering if i can fit 33 inch tires on it with no lift. will it rub? if so what is the easiest/best way out?
If you turn up the torsion bars 1.5" or so, you can fit a narrow 33" like a 33x10.50-15 or 285/75-16.
If you want a wider 33" like the common 33x12.50-15 or 305/70-16, you will need at least a body lift and rims with less backspace than stock to push the tires away from the body a little bit.
I've got a 2000 Ranger Ext Cab 3.0, I fit 33x12.50's with just the torsions cranked a bit. I leveled it, then cranked it a few more threads and I was good. The only way I ever hit was if I nosed over something. You can do it! Oh, I had to take my front mud flaps off too though. Looks better in my opinion anyways
But I just added a 3" bodylift. It looks much better I think. And there's definitely no clearance issues. Looking back, if I wouldn't have done the body lift. I would have gotten some 32x11.50's
