Im doing a 35 inch tire and i wanna do the spindle lift up front but i know u gotta change the brake rotor to the ranger rotors how much of a difference would the stopping be with that big of a tire and smaller rotors? also i heard that some of the STs already have the 11.25" rotors ? how would u tell if it does or not?
 






I can say that the biggest difference I can tell by going to 35s was in the braking. I'd imagine the smaller rotors will make it that much worse. Definitely get stainless brake lines to help out. Get quality rotors and pads, obviously.

I haven't really done my homework on the spindles for obvious reasons. Why is it necessary to go to smaller rotors? I'd search but I'm about to head back from my lunch break.
 






"also i heard that some of the STs already have the 11.25" rotors ? how would u tell if it does or not?"

Not to sound condescending, but...

Remove the wheel and measure the diameter of the rotor.
 






lol i knew that was gonna come up haha but i wasnt sure if there was somewhere it might say on the truck or in the manual or anything before i took the wheel off and all but thanks
