Default body lift and tires

I've got a 95 ranger xlt 2wd.

Does anyone know if 31"s would fit on it with a 3" body lift?

them bitches sit low, i doubt it.

plus unless you are trying to spend an ass load of money to lengthen the a-arms and put long travel suspention on it for desert racing its not worth it.

problems with your question.
1. its a ranger
2. you want a body lift
3. its 2wd.

i would leave it stock and get something better for wheelin in.

rangers use a twin i beam that year if i recall. i think 98 is when they switched to a full IFS on both the 2&4wd's.

they will fit, i have done them on one before, but they scrubbed a little in the front, i think i had to trim the fender liner or something.


the main question i ask is why

It's not for off-roading obviously but I just wanted a project to work on and a better looking truck. My parents won't let me sell it, so I might as well work with what I have.

I can't buy a vehicle because I'm 16 and can't afford the insurance and tax since it owuld be under my name, so I'm stuck with what I have.

i say drop it with some bags and put some 16" 100 spokes on it. do up the interior and put some subs in it and ready to go. forget that meaningless body lift stuff.

here is what you should do... drive the truck.. consider it a blessing, be thankful that you dont have to pay much for it... take this time to save money.... and save your ass off.. then once you are emancipated (spelling) from your parents, you can buy whatever you want.

this is what i did... i drove a 87 dodge turd brown full size van... it was a PIECE, NO girls would ride anywhere with me in it.. she had a leaky manifold, the carb fell off (literally) one day, she had no insulation and was noisy as a son-of-a-gun. but she got me where i needed to go.. oh ya not to mention 9 mpg.

i saved my ass off and bought a 93 4runner and now its on 33 and in 2 weeks will be on 35's with a solid axle and a bunch of other shit.
