What's good TRS!!! long time avid ranger fan... Currently on my 4th ranger (5th if you count my 94 explorer) first one was a burnt orange 98 2.3l 5spd 2wd step side I had back in high school where I fell in love with the truck. fast forward to present day and finally got one I can turn into what I want now that I'm a competent adult. So just came into possession of a 03 xlt extra cab 3.0L 2wd unfortunately its an auto... I'm from the west coast born in Cali raised in Arizona so what I envision for this truck is a simple prerunner style ranger and show these mud boggin floridians what west coast style is. already ordered and received a Wulf suspension 4" spindle lift and rear 2" AAL. IDK how this lift is gunna sit on its own. I might decide to add some 2" coil springs and a 2" rear shackle also. Depends on how small the 31x10.5x15 iron man AT2's look.
How she currently sits with the new tires ^^^
I haven't put the Wulf lift on yet trying to decide what shocks to go with since the kit didn't come with any and I know extended isn't necessary yet with just a spindle lift but they desperately need to be changed out. Wulf has some 0-2" lift shocks for just under 300 that I'm thinking about getting but like I said just depends on how it looks when I put the lift on whether I need extended shocks or not if I decide to get the 2" coils. If I decide against it and leave it at that I'll look into getting the Bilstein 4600's. Does anyone already have this lift or suggestions on shocks?
Next is paint... I want to go with like a midnight blue buuuut, I'm a cheap bastard and most likely going to do it myself and I'm probably going to catch alot of crap for this but any advice on laying down some spray paint that wouldn't look horrible? after all this is a truck and will be used in such manner but also a DD so dont want it to look like some crackhead rattle canned it after tokin on a light bulb...
Welp that's all for now. I will be active on here and even post a build thread as long as I can remember to document with photo's of everything.
P.S. Thanks in advanced for all advice given and look forward to hearing everybody's opinion!
