Ranger lift=Too $hort

[Ken Cooke]

Ranger X,

It seems impossible that you could run such a tire
with such a measly lift! When the guys at 4 Wheel Parts
in Santa Ana told me that the largest I could go with my
(then) new body lift and Rancho lift was 32's, I felt like
when I was in Junior High, and I was getting swatted by the
vice principal!
I am thinking about the coil spacers by Rough Country, because I really want to run those 33" SSR's once my TSL-SX's wear out. I think with an additional 1 1/2" up front and new National Springs out back, maybe I can keep things normal. I thought that the sag was from my insane camping trips I take the truck on. The flex is great, but I really want more clearance. After I get the front lifted, I would also like to trim back that leading edge of the front 'well by about an inch. Is that what you did? What did you pay for the body work? From there, I will be good to go. I also need to save the $$$ since my fiance and I am putting together a wedding, and I am putting together a bachelor party/trail-run where the extra clearance will be needed.
Any more advice would be great.

My fender trim was free, I did it myself with a grinder, swazall, tinsnips, and a hammer. Sure, I would have liked to have it done professionally, but it doesn't look too bad.

I live in Carlsbad, which isn't that far from you. You want to come down to look at my truck, let me know. I have a set of mounted 33"s, and a set of mounted 35"s, we can put on your truck to test out.

Ranger X,

Cool. When I return from my vacation to Northern Ca., I will look you up. This will be sometime around the end of August. I'm looking for some sort of idea as to a moderate fender trim along with some spring spacers that would clear those TSL-SSR's which stand 33.4". I'll give you a shout out when I'm ready to drive down the 5.

Lookin' forward to it!
