where can i get spring spacers for a 03 ranger 4x4? i just my new 33x12.5 pro comp AT's on and they rub pretty bad. do they tend to run a little wide? they are on 15x10 with a 4.5 inch backspace. i can only turn the wheel about half way and they rub on the stock fender flares and on the body. im pretty sure the torsion bars are cranked up. what would be your best suggestion and quickest. thanks in advanced. would 2 wheel drive spacer work for a 4wd
 
You can't run coil spacers because u have torsion bars as the suspension, not a coil spring. If the bars aren't cranked up, do that which will give u 1.5 inches, but i doubt that would be enough.
The only thing you can do cheap is run a body lift on it. A 4 inch suspension will be big bucks. THe other thing would be to run 15x 8 wheels wiht a lot of backspacing. That will pull the tires in and probablly keep them off the fenders a little bit.
 
yea had a brain fart with the coil spacer thing dont know what i was thinkin i had to take the fender flares off and i am still rubbing on the lower valance not sure what i am going to do yet.
 
If its only rubbing on the plastic valence under the bumper, just trim it back a little, that would help too.
 
yea just want to keep it looking nice dont want it to look like a hack job can anyone suggest fender flares. i would like some that go in the factory holes but will not rub if possible i may just have to trim them down too. i will have to wait for a day that it is not raining and snowing. i got a pretty good deal on the rims 4 15x10 eagle simulated bead locks with 33x12.5 pro comp at's 2 with half tread and 2 with about 1/4 tread for $300 i have some one i can get some 33x12.50 firestone MT's with only 2000 miles on them for 300. anyone know is they run any wider then or taller then the pro comps. thanks always appreciate everyones help.
 
If u dont want to cut the valence, the best bet would be a body lift. If not, see if u could trade the wheels for ones with more backspacing so they stick out less, or some 8 inch wide ones would help too. I dont thnk it would matter what brand tire u run if its gonna be the same size
