Hey, guys.
Bought the Prothane bushings for the body mounts on my ’92 Ranger Custom 4x4 (4.0, A4LD). Finally ready to tighten them down, but no torque settings came with them (the instructions said to consult my repair manual and Haynes has no info). Anyone know what the correct torque is?
Also, I currently have what I believe are the 15x7 stock steel rims on her, along with 235/75R15s. Although they have mega tread left on them, I may have to replace the tires, due to splits deep down inside the treads (no idea how this occurred, I only found out it was like this after I bought the truck - maybe the PO overinflated them at some point).
I think I remember reading that for this year Ranger, 235 75R15s are the biggest I can go without a lift or cutting (neither of which is desirable to me). This makes it kind of hard, since a lot of what I see on Craigslist are 16” tires, 15” 31s and 33s, etc. Can anyone verify if this is true? Anyone know what else will fit besides what I have on there without modification? I’d love something a little wider, but not sure if that’s do-able.
PS - I checked several tire/wheel fitment threads in the Tech section, but they did not contain the above info (they assumed a lift is added, gave info on bolt patterns, etc).
Thanks.
