what my lift???

[jester77]

I currently have 32x11.50/15s on my truck and they are starting to get worn, so new tires are on my horizon. I would like to go to 33x12.5s but I don't know if I have the lift to make it happen. How do I tell what my suspension lift is, I bought the truck already like this, I know I have a 2 inch body lift.

1985 Ranger 4x4- love my truck!!

You have coil sprung I-beams, you can get lifts for your truck real cheap you need about 4-5 inches to clear 33s without rubbing

You can always cut the fenders and get a coil puck/spacer.

nothing like reading my post and realizing what I didn't say- I also have a suspension lift already on the truck, but I don't know what brand or amount of lift that is under it?? What is the best, easiest way to tell what and how much lift is under my truck?

 

[fordboi415]

show us a picture of your truck with the 32s sitting on a flat surface and we should be able to tell you if the 33s will fit

if you can get us pics of your lift kit we can figure out what brand it is and figure lift hieght also.

here is a skyjakcer kit. this kit can be ethier 4 or 6 inches deending on what springs(4 or 6 inch) were opted for.

Any better picture of the front showing the brackets?

33's will fit on the back. small trim to the front (Red Line) and the 33's will clear.

might need to rethink the cut the fenders thing?? Is it really worth it to add an inch to a tire?? Hmm.... 32x11.50s look pretty balanced, I'm not a big 4x4 guy out running the mud- I drive it back and forth from work, loads to and from the dump, and home depot, and generally just use the truck. My little 5 year old sure would like to see it bigger though.... What if I add an inch to the body??

Turn your wheels lock to lock and find out if you are going to need to trim. if your close to touching now, like close to 1/4", then you likely hit will with 33's.

That small trim will clear 33 no problem. I was running 33's with that small trim and never hit at all.
