hey all. i am new to the site and wanted some info on gearing. i have the stock d35 on my little ranger and am looking into changing...upgrading on gears. what gearing does it have? what is the best gear ratio to use all around?mostly using truck for trail/mud bogging im looking into lifting and putting on bigger tires then stock.

check your axle code on your door tag or check the tag on the rear diff. we need to know what motor, axles, and tires you want to run before we can give you a good recommendation. PS gearing is expensive.

Yep, what he said. You can also look in the tech library if you need more information.

Skyjacker is about the best overall in suspension lifts for a Ranger. A close 2nd would be James Duff. (check the reviews post at the top here)

As for gears, 4.88 would be a good ratio with 33" tires on a 2.9L.
