Thanks, the 35 the same tire is ran by a guy with a 2.3 i4 motor ranger because they are so light it actually made his truck feel faster

Sorry for my lack of fab knowledge but what does truss mean?? Would I need to regear also? My worry with going to tall is I would need to change the driveshaft length… would the bed cage affect that at all? I will go with any used premium shocks I can get my hand on haha! Thanks for the...

Prefect! How could I check which beams it has?? Very nice to know that I can get away with welding on these! I think the tires should be ok, a guy I saw in Terra crew with a similar build runs them and is perfect fine! Are shocks universal mounting? Because I can’t figure out which length to...

Thank you dude! I will start doing that, I’ve got access to a welder and I’m going to start learning all I can about fab and stuff. Should I cut and turn my current beams or try to find some extended ones off and f-150 or f-250? I’ve also heard that older ranger used forged beams and those...

I will check that out for sure, I’ve had suggestions to weld a bedcage for more travel, 8.8 axle, and 64” Chevy springs swap it but the front is new to me What attributes in budget shocks are desirable?

Thanks so much again! And the 8.8 is a great idea! Can it handle up to 35 and 37s ya think? I’ve seen Tensor dsr tires (35x10 r15) for 750 off fb marketplace that fit my wheels and are good for pre runner stuff but they only come in those sizes. I’ve heard 63, 64, and 65 Chevy springs...

Thanks man I already have 31 mud terrains that are near death so I might lift then get 33s. will the shocks help my truck take bumps and jumps a little better?

I wish I did but no... I have friends who have a little bit of experience but I don't want to have to rely on them all the time. One question tho, wont cutting those springs make it stiffer? and is that what I want? Those are some great ideas btw!

Thanks so much for responding Noah!! so my budget hasn't completely been decided yet, I'm a broke high school kid but i've got 1500 or so to use rn, and that will get bigger over time but how much would that cover as far as the parts you said go? also, I've heard going up to the ford 9" axle is...

Hey! for starters, I'm a beginner to the offroad/truck building world but I've got a manual, 4wd, 1994 ranger extended cab. It's got the slowest 3.0 known to man becuase of a misfire that I don't know how to fix. its got minor body damage so its a good platform for a cheap prerunner build. I...

my bad didn't realize this was engine tech.... i dont know how to delete it though!!
