Stock on 31's

[94power_ranger]

Is it odd that my ranger is bone stock sittin on 31's? Lol because it seems like everybody that has 31's also have a body lift.

 

[scotts90ranger]

my '90 is stock with 31's, so no, not that odd, most just prefer the extra clearance...

 

[Hypnotic Toast]

Friend of mine has the same setup, but I do see most older Rangers on the road with smaller tires. Like Scotts said, I'm sure people prefer more clearance.

I tell him it looks goofy though since he also has a single cab, haha.

No, not odd at all. You have a gen 3 ranger, which can mount 31's stock compared to the first or second gens(83-92)

 

[scotts90ranger]

my '90 on 31's, it's a LOT tighter fit than a '93+ but doable on a '89-92

not really... mine is stock and runnin on 33's just a lil t-bar crank...havent gotten em to rub yet either

 

[94power_ranger]

dang, i guess it is common lol. but it would be nice if i had the front end leveled out with back

 

[scrizzo]

coil spacers if u dont beat on it too hard

Can't tell... Is that the dark blue? Or is it black?

I'm thinking yours might be a twin of mine lol (taken within a week of it rolling off the dealer lot on stock 31" P265 tires)

 

[94power_ranger]

dang junkie, your right, almost twins. but yours has the front valance bumber. and yeah mines black.
whats a good brand for coil spacers, or should i get stock f-150 coils???

 

[4x4junkie]

Yours likely did too, I'm betting it must've become a casualty sometime over the last 17 years lol (it's just plastic).

The F-150 2WD spacers are popular, as are a stack of welded washers. I wouldn't use F-150 coils though, they can be rather unpredictable as to how much lift you get.

yeah, the bolts are still on my bumber from where there was one on it.
On that link were it shows the washers, it seems like i would have to weld a bunch of them to even my truck out.

Some of the gen 3 trucks came with 31s stock, or 265 75 15s.

 

[CountryBoy78]

I put 31's on stock wheels and stock suspension on my 94 Explorer, granted the 31's are bald but I got no rubbing issues. I still plan on installing some coil spacers, I like to have more room than what I got now.

By the way you got a nice looking truck.

i put bald 31 inch all terrains on my gen 2 2wd with just a 2 inch coil spacer. talk about a close fit.
