no its bagged , re-6's in front , re-7's in the back

That thing is gunna be sick. I've always liked the rangers and that's gunna be insane when its cleaned up. With new front fenders and layin hard it will be insane in my book

thanks for the incouragement , im tryi to get me a rearend so i can gt her lookin nasty haha
and prolly go to the u-pull-it and try to find some fenders

Did u already shorten the stock rear end or no?

just sitting here looking at it, when you put the stock fenders back on, you may have to swap your front bags out to re-7's to get enough lift to clear and be able to steer.

no its got the stock rear end under it now , i went to the junkyard earlier and measured some yota rearends and i dont think they will be short enuff , so ive decided to use a rearend out of a 96 bmw 325i , it is the same lug pattern as a s10 and my wheel are universal so , looks like im gonna be doin a IRS


from what i can tell i should be able to clear the stock fenders , i dont have one to put on it yet so im not sure , but right now i can clear the cut fender by about 5 inches at full lift

looks as if the tires will touch the front of the fenders when layed out

Yea it will prob need just a bit more lift but seriously a stock floored ranger on 4's that's nice

Yea it does actually. You might have to put some offroad fenders on it. Or bulge out factory ones. It looks from the picture that they are close to the fenders now and if you get the front to lay flat on the ground with stock fenders your lookin like you will have a clearence issue layin out. You might have to narrow the front frame rails a bit and make custom motor mounts. Im not a pro but that's just what I think

The front should camber in enough to clear, I am more worried about enough lift to stear and ride quality, I know on my Ranger with 6's on front to clear i have to run 120-130 psi and thats a stiff ride..compared to the 80 i ran to clear the 17's i had on it before...I am changing out to 7's this summer

are you going to have to section the front fenders any? or will the tires not come through the hood? I seen one ranger on SSM that had to do something with his fenders to make 22's clear. I think its going to look titis!

on a side note the floor in that green ranger is f'n sweet!

the front cambers in plenty to clear , its gonna have to be right at max lift to turn , but it will turn all the way without hittin the frame or anything , its gonna ride like shit at full lift , but i think i can get used to it since thy are 4's lol

i have the front on the rockers now and the tires are flush with the top of the fenders

sweetness. youll have to get some more pics up

agreed once cleaned up it will be sick

what was the green ranger layin on from area 53.....i thought it was on 22s or 24s

the one w/ the clear floors in it....
