i have a 94 ranger 2wd in the process of lifting(3 inch body 4 in rc) to put on 35 12.50 r15s i was wondering if i cud put 15x10s on there bc most ppl have 15x8 but i want wide offset rims still being 15s. also the skyjacker 6 inch lift coils i found are they for all rangers or 4x4 only?finnaly created a trs account ,lemme know what you think i might think of others in the future.:headbang:
 
I run a 15x10 rim with my BOGGERs, but they are a 35x14.5x15 tire. On my BFG's, which are the same size as your wanting, the 15x8 are more than enough for the tire. You will be "stretching" the 12.5 to match the width of the rim otherwise. Some do it (mainly the ricers), but for an off road truck I dunno.

I dont have a pic of a "stretched" tire, but this migh give you an idea of footprint.
 
thanks i appreciate it mean lookin truck man ill be there in like 10 years lol do you know about the coil springs? 1994 ford ranger skyjacker 6 inch lift coils only are 165$ but idk if they are 2wd and 4wd or just 4wd or what it fits i assume since it does not specify that it fits all rangers 1983-97 http://www.jamesoaksenterprises.com/products/skyjacker_coil_springs.htm
 
also where did you get that bumper? ive noticed alot of rangers with similar ones but cannot find online.did you make it?
 
I have a similar bumper and purchased it from jamesduff.com. BLOODBANE's might be Duff as well.
 
Yes, both on the Ranger and Explorer are Duff bumpers. The Ranger is the winch version. I don't know as far as the coil set up, but someone smarter than me might be able to answer that for you. Lots of knowledgeable folks here.
 
went on james duff n all they had was bumpers for first and second gen rangers someone help meee lol preferably prerunner style but any pipe style bumper will do.
 
IIRC, 2wd and 4x4 Rangers used different coils/coil buckets. The coils will fit, but you likely will not see the correct amount of lift. I don't exactly remember what the difference is as to if the 2wds used longer coils or what on the 2wd Rangers.

I know that my choptop started life as a 2wd Bronco II (although they were a little different than the 2wd Rangers). I believe my coil buckets on it are stamped as a 4x4 Ranger/Bronco II and 4x2 Bronco II (I probably should have got a picture of it when I cleaned the coil buckets off and saw that). The coils that were on it were 2" longer than a 4x4 BII coil to make up for the difference in axle beam height. Of course, that's an unloaded spring measurement as I have no way to measure spring rate.

But for my purposes, I knew that things would work out because I was doing some custom building to my suspension and the fact that I was starting with 4x4 coil buckets (I was able to compare the coil buckets and how they sat to both a 4x4 BII and a 4x4 Ranger at the time but I didn't have access to a 2wd Ranger to compare).
 
thanks for the input i'm probly just going to put in the rough country springs with the coil spacers for now and find the skyjacker springs later since she's just going to be on the road for now just have to be slow on the bumps cuz they're going to be hard as a rock lol
