You can do a 3" body lift for about $200.

junk, if you want to save money and get a 3" lift, go with a body lift. There is nothing bad about them.

Crank the stock bars and add a body lift. This will let you run a 35" tire if you want. Aftermarket keys are a waste of money.

Yea I don't think so; a 33" tire, but not a 35.

With the amount of guys running 33's with just the bar crank and a few running 33's stock, 35's will fit with the body lift and bar crank....just look around the forum......



tbar crank, 3" body lift and 35" procomps

What ever happened to Ranger Interceptor by the way???

I wouldn't run 35's on just a body lift, not enough room for suspension travel and you have to remove your front bumper or do major cutting.

body lift and tires

i beg to differ on the biggest you can run being a 35 this is a sampling of my buddy donnys 2004 with a 3 inch body liftand no i repeat NO tbar crank or suspension lift . those are 305 85 R16 buckshot maxis mudders. not one problem with rubbing or any clearance issues

doing a body lift isnt going to really give you more ground clearance the better way to go would be a level kit 2" in the front and a 2.5" block in the rear then torque the bars to level it up to 2.5" in the front the less amount of torque you put on those bars the longer they will last ive broken torsion bars it doesnt take much when there is any amount of extra torque on them then run a larger tire then look at a body lift after the body lift arnt bad cost wise but if you arnt putting it on yourself the labour behind it may scare you. hope that helps at all cheers
