Did you lift your 1998-2011 Ford Ranger 4x4?

I did it, put 33s on. With a 2 inch coilover front mod, the prior 32s did well. Try to find any in my favorite brand, NOT. So here it is. 33 x 12.5 x R15 just touching CCW and CW barely (1/4") sway bar rub. Can't even feel it. I'm still intimidated however. Need to look into longer rear shocks and then either new leaf springs or just a 1 inch block for the rear. When I'm on the trail, I'm loaded. That is the truck.

32x11.50x15's are/have become somewhat of an oddball size.

Not a lot of tire choices.

Ya... BFG AT KO's... But I am firmly ANTI-BFG for, reasons.

You can get the Falken Wildpeaks which are the current it thing (remember it was the Nitto Terra Grappler G2's a few years ago?).

Most of the options seem to be off-brand and/or really aggressive MT's.

They also seem disproportionately higher priced than 31x10.50's, usually only a few dollars cheaper than 33x12.50's

Brand new to the forum. Had my Ranger for 3-4 years now. Just rolled over the 200,000 mark yesterday. Early this year I got it leveled out and put some 33's on it. Okay so just shy of 33", but I'm rounding up. It does rub a bit at full lock, but damn does she look good. When I can afford it I'll probably lift it up more to hopefully get rid of the rub. Very open to suggestions.

Been offroading a good bit so far since I got the tires on it. My previous offroad vehicle was a Jeep Renegade, so needless to say this is a nice step up. It was definitely a learning experience, especially since this is my first manual transmission vehicle. Very different world, but loving the extra control.

33x12.50's / Metric Equivalent?

On just cranked front keys to level?

How much rubbing?

Me and my Dad recently bought and installed the Torch 3in Front 2in Rear lift kit. It ended up looking amazing, We were able to fit some 33s under it as well. I would highly recommend this kit for anyone that ones a cheaper lift, but isn't into body lifts or doesn't want to go too expensive.
This is my 98 ranger now on 33s.

Im running the Torch Offroad 2.5" kit in the front of my 2020. Been great for 5+ years now.

That's the Torch key and block or AAL or shackle combination?

I'm likely doing the key + AAL with extended length shocks (Bilstein 4600's or Rancho 5000's depending on funds).
