Hi all,
I have a '93 2wd 2.3L Ranger that I want to upgrade to the same ride height and look as a similar year 4X4 Ranger. I may also plan on doing something with the differential (some sort of locker?) at some point as well.
I will not be doing any serious off roading, maybe some gravel roads in the hills, but would like a little more height clearance. I have determined that the stock 4X4 Ranger tire is a 235/75/15. Is this a 15" Rim? Could I go to a junkyard and buy the rims off of a dead 4X4 of similar year?
Other than converting to the 4X4 tires and rims (assuming the bolt patterns match??!!?), what else will I need to do? I want to keep the 2wd factory ride that I have also, nothing stiffer. I assume I need a lift kit here, but how high is the lift that is needed? Any suggestions on a kit?
Thanks for your help.
