My New Fx4 Level II

[BILTRITE BULLIES]

thanks joey

 

[BILTRITE BULLIES]

i forgot to say those are 33/12.50's on there

 

[Jay FX4]

I was going to say they looked bigger than the stock 31x10.5 BFG. So you got those on there with no type of lift? Any rubbing?

Love the truck. Now I want to sell my 02 and get an 06! I love the dash cluster!

 

[BILTRITE BULLIES]

no i havent had any rubbing that i have noticed so far they were already on it when i got it but they look bran new


thanks tony

Almost looks as if it has a body lift. Can you see if they did anything underneath?

 

[Jay FX4]

I don't see the frame rails... Just the t-bar and a little of the skid plate. But it seems like the 33's would fill the wheels wells a little more than it appears to here.

 

[BILTRITE BULLIES]

here is a couple pictures i just took to show you clearence

its not as clean as it was...lol its been raining

when the wheel is cranked over real hard it is about an inch from rubbing on the inside of the wheel

also it looks like there is about 3/4 of an inch left on the bolts (for cranking up the torsen bars)
i dont know if thats factory or not but the truck does sit slightly down in the front

 

[BILTRITE BULLIES]

one thing i want is for the wheels to sit out a few more inches

 

[Jay FX4]

Nope no BL....
I feel the same way about mine. The wheels/tires are tucked into the wheel well a bit too much for my taste. Those Alcoas you have are 7" wide and I'm pretty sure the back spacing is 4", so it only sticks out 3" from the mounting surface. Even with a 12.5" tire, yours looked tucked in also. Still better than mine, though!

I think seeing your truck with those tires is finally going to be the kick in the ass I needed to get the new set of wheels and the BFG AT 33x10.5 I've been wanting. I'm hoping that an 8" wheel with the right BS/offset will stick out a little more and give the appearance of a wider tire.

That truck is exactly what I want some day. Always wanted a Level 2. They are beasts offroad. Too bad they dont make them anymore. Nice truck man.

 

[BILTRITE BULLIES]

thanks guys,

b3004x4 - i am realy in love with the truck too...lol

the 2007 has a tire pressure reader in the cab, so i kinda wanted a 07
but i am glad i got this one with the few extras already on it

you can get the 08 and 09 with pretty much every thing the 06-07 has
i think as far as the limited slip and tow hooks, better shocks, (but not blistien)

but from what i can read the specs say the newer models 08-09 have a couple inches less ground clearence than 06-07???

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

wow nice truck!!! looks amazingly nice man my sincere envy...

 

[98 ranger xlt]

Ya the 08-09 4x4s are lower than a 2wd xlt.

 

[Toms01PSD]

Wow. From the pictures it looks like you have as much room as I do with 31's. I wonder if they did something to the truck to fit them? Or did all FX4 Lvl 2's have 33's?
