Suspension and Tire's question.

[Jon_Smith]

I have a 2006 Ford Ranger Sport 4x4 with a 3" body lift. I am looking into purchasing a 4" Superlift suspension lift. I was wondering with both kits installed what would be the biggest tired I could fit comfortably.
Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Should be able to fit 35x12.50s. You've got some funds lined up to regear your axles for those tires, correct?

im about 60% sure if you cranked your torsion bars you could fit 37's,...with cranked bars 36's for sure...35's will fit with a torsion crank and a 3" bodylift

35's will fit. The wheel bearings, tie rod ends, and ball joints will be a lot happier with 33's.

yea but 35's are large and if i know anything...bigger is always better, but i cant talk im still on 31's..damnit

With a Superlift and Body lift the most you want to go is 35x12.50. You will also want to regear to 4.88's.

Bigger is NOT always better.

x2 on "Bigger is NOT always better." get the size that will best serve the majority of your driving. then learn the best way to drive them for everything else. just my $.02.

Ya I plan on getting it re-geared and getting a new driveshaft cause I hear the stock one will wear quickly.

 

[Jon_Smith]

Will the torsion bar crank have any bad effects on the truck itself or change anything whether good or bad?

 

[Jon_Smith]

So if I put on the suspension lift and get my T bars cranked I will be able to fit 37"s? Just wondering cause I found a great deal on 4 37" BFG mud terrains.

Really, you could make anything fit....just cut the fenders.

The question is..why???

Cranking the torsion bars will put more stress on the entire front end, and make it ride like ass.

With 37"s, the truck is going to be a gutless dog..

 

[07rangerfx4lv2]

its your truck do what you want, crankin the bars does make it ride rough and 37's would make it really sluggish but on the other hand go big or go home

I can hear the CV joints a snappin' from 3000 miles away

 

[Jon_Smith]

OK probably better to just go with the 35"s.

if you plan on flexing at all i wouldnt go more than 35s. i thought about double lifting and running 35s. then i figured why not just sas and run 35-37s its cheaper than trying to wheel a silly superlift.
