My 2wd 99 Ranger after the 5 1/2 suspension lift with 33x12.5x15's:
Here is the BL I put on the next summer. I never had issues with any rubbing, but I want it to sit up a bit more. I could have just had a 1 inch or 2 inch BL. If I could go back in time I would have not put on the BL. It does make some popping noise once in awhile in corners. All my buddies say the same thing. The truck does sit really high now.
BL added:
I do notice I get a lot of people staring at my truck. A lot of Ranger owners as well turning their heads to look at the truck. Grat feeling!!! Even a lot of
4wd trucks and Jeeps give me the 'wave' and the thumbs up sign. People have stopped to talk to my in parking lots while shopping to look at the truck. Another thing...my truck still looks brand new!! I take good care of it the best I can. It does make me feel good about the truck. It does handle great and rides very well. Maker sure you get the right size shocks for any lifted ride!!! I went to 4Wheel Parts and one of the guys took time to measure my truck and ordered me the right length of shocks and they installed them for free!! Very good people there. I'll get some photos of the Yakima roof rack I put on sometime ago. I take it off and then put it back on. Now...it stays on. It looks really nice!!!
