Hey everyone!
First truck ever, had tons of VW's over the years.
Just picked up a 2000 Ranger std cab 2.5l manual.
It is lowered right now but it won't be like that for long.
My plans for it are:
6 inches of lift in front
4 inches of lift in back
30's or 31's on black 15x8 steel wheels
42 inch LED light bar on roof
Tubular front and rear bumpers.
To achieve the lift I'm going to remove tubular lowered control arm front end and replace with stock arms, 3 inch lift spindles (already purchased), 3 inch lift springs and longer shocks. For the rear I will flip axle back underneath leaves and get a add a leaf kit and use existing blocks and longer shocks.
Will I need longer brake lines?
Also not sure what offset wheels to buy, I do want a wide stance.
Will these work?
