for a Ranger to have 33x12.5 tires?? Im assuming a 4" or 6" lift would most likely work.

Are you planning on a new ranger or an older one? The older ones 89-92 can run a 33 with 4 inches and some trimming or 6 inches without. I think 93 and newer can run them with 4 inches but I'm not sure. Check out my sig for my registry pic and a link to some more. It's wise and saves money to plan ahead and get it all figured out. And welcome to the site.
