93 ranger upgrades

[colorado01]

i have a 3'' body lift on it now with 31'' good year mtr's and a throttle body spacer. everything else is stock. i want to get into 4 wheeling a little more, but i have no idea what to do with it. i want to do what i can with the existing axles before eventually doing an axle swap. so what could i do for now?
also i have my old 94 ranger that doesn not run but has a 2'' suspension lift. would it be worth putting the lift onto my 93? i would have to hire someone to complete the work for me...since i cannot work on vehicles

i would like to get 33's under it with some suspension travel. and spend no more than 1 grand

i have been looking at a chevy 64" leaf swap, it seems pretty simple and straight forward.. any suggestions??

Top of the page is the "Technical Library". I suggest you sit down and have yourself a read. Lots of good info on there for you. If you're like me and can fabricate, build a kit yourself. I have right around a grand in my front AND rear suspension and it works great with massive amounts of travel.

ill have to check it out.. what did you do for your rear?

Mix of exlporer leaf spring pack and my ranger leaf spring pack coupled with a set of belltech shackles.

so im almost positive i am going to go with a 53" leaf swap for the rear.. does anyone know what shackles to get for it to come out at about a 4 inch lift? or any other suggestions as far as leafs to go with to get the best flex at a good price and easy installation..

I see you can't work on vehicles. A 3 inch Body Lift will clear 33's. You will want to re-gear though.

Hey colorado... Brinker is giving you some top notch advice. I too recommend you hit the tech section and do some reading. Brinker has done a fantastic job on his truck and I plan to use his radius arm design when I get to that point on mine. As a new guy here you need to pay close attention and follow the advice of some of these guys... Many of them seriously know their stuff.

Brinker- I did not realize you had your build on here. I started reding last night and already have learned a lot. Great job. Thanks for guiding me in the right direction lol.
