If you guys had a say, 2004-ish 2wd manual Ranger (supercab is my preference) and you wanted to have a vehicle that was used to commute 40 min to work on ~40-50mph long, sweeping curved roads with railroad crossings, large humps (that would get you to catch air at maybe 60mph), what would you do to make it more “fun”?
I’d like a BFG Mud Terrain-like tread TBD and 4” bulge front fenders and maybe 2” lift. I’d like to improve the suspension compliance and generally toughen up the truck for my commute (which is in the wee hours on desolate roads) and those times when a dirt road calls to me.
What reasonably priced shocks (not $600 Fox), what would you do with the front springs (~2” lift) and what about making the rear better able to absorb impacts yet still be compliant.
Please don’t direct me to Camburg. This truck will be my daily driver and I’m trying to keep it low budget.
Thanks!
