98 & newer lift questions

[Nl_jester]

I know that super lifts has a 3"-4" lift, this may sound stupid to some of you,
but can you add a traxxus T-bar key to that aswell to get say 5"-6" of lift.

Im lifting my truck this summer and adding rims and tires 255/85/16s

Thanks alot every one

Another 2" at most, but all it's doing is taking the downtravel out of the suspension. You don't need that much lift for that tire.

you wouldn't even need to lift your truck for that. I was able to put 285x75x16 tires on my 99 ranger with only a t-bar crank and add a leaf, they only rubbed at max turn. My truck came with 245x75x16 tires stock. Depending on how serious you are going to be with off roading I would either just put on those tires, or go bigger with a lift.

If you want to get serious save up for the superlift and find some bigger tires. I live in the middle of the Rocky Mnts and I use my ranger for anything from hunting to hard core exploring and it is also my Daily Driver. I'm saving up for the superlift with a coilover conversion. the coilover conversion will cost about 1k and the superlift is a variable. Its all up to you and where you want to take your ranger. Good luck with whatever you decide.
