34" or 35" tires?

[hxchrist]

got a ranger xlt 4.0 v6 and was wondering whether i should go with 35's or 34's. If i get 35's i'll need a 4" suspension lift and a 3" body but with the 34's i just need the suspension is the 35" worth the extra money for the body lift. (i go muddin sometimes but mostly my daily driver)

35's really won't make that big of a difference, it's a half inch either side of the rim we're talking about. It also depends on the brand of tire too, some say they are a 35 or 34, but in some cases they're not quite what they state + you might want to look at what gears you're running as well. With a larger size tire, you run the risk of added strain on your front end components like bearings and such.

I'm currently running 34x10.5 LTB's on a 6 inch suspension and 3 inch BL. I did swap my 35x12.5 MTR's from my exploder on it, and they looked & handled much better, but they eventually went back onto the exploder as it's a DD

Just my 2 cents

You guys are forgetting he's got a '98, bigger wheel openings. You should be able to pull off the 34x10.50s with a torsion crank or leveling kit. In reality, they're only 32.5"~ on an 8" rim.

what? a 98? I thought all the cool kids were rolling in '91's


(whoops my bad) I'm lost when it comes to the gen 3 +

 

[liftedredranger]

yeah a leveling kit should clear 34s and 33s or just crank the torsion bars
