lift is here!!!!

[topofffun]

Well guys i have been waiting for a lift kit to pop up used. I finally found one. It came off of a 2001 ranger its a superlift. It came with all lift brackets plus..... the calipers, rotors, class 1 torsion bars, front drive shaft, front shocks both lower a arm, and one top a arm. So then i called 4wheel parts and ordered the rear leafs u bolts and shocks. I paid that guy 880 and 4wheel parts 450 exactly. Again this is going on a loaded 03 ST I m super hyped some of you know how bad i wanted to lift it. So here are my questions.

1. What are class 1 torsion bars should i just use my stock ones instead?

2. I'm using all of the ranger parts that he gave me anything i should know?

3. With the lift What is the biggest tire i can run on stock 16 or a aftermarket 17 18 20?

4. Should i throw a body lift on while im at it?

5. I have the 3.73 ratio is it going to be a turd with 33"

PLEASE SEND ME PICS OF YOUR TRUCK IF YOU HAVE THIS LIFT WITH TIRES



Thanks in advance.

5. You should be fine with 3.73's but 4.10's wouldn't hurt but if u go to 35's get 4.56's u should be able to clear them with a body lift

It will be an absolute dog with 3.73's and 33's.
My sport trac came stock with 4.10 gears and 255/70's (about 30").
4.56 will be perfect for 33's, will keep the engine at a good rpm on the highway, and help turn the additional rolling mass.

Sport Trac torsion bars are stiffer than Ranger torsion bars. Keep the stockers.

2. I'm using all of the ranger parts that he gave me anything i should know?

I'm pretty sure you'll need to use Ranger brake rotors.

3. With the lift What is the biggest tire i can run on stock 16 or a aftermarket 17 18 20?

33" tall.

4. Should i throw a body lift on while im at it?

It's up to you but you'll only need it if you want to run 35's.

5. I have the 3.73 ratio is it going to be a turd with 33"

Yes. I ran 32's with 3.73 gears on my old '05 Trac and it was a turd.
