Looking for what the title says, and pics would help. With either 33" or 35" tires. Prefer extended cabs, but show me even if its not.... Thanks!

Here is my 99 2wd Ranger. 5 inch suspension and 3 inch bl







Here is it with just a 3 inch suspension and add-a-leaf at the rear. This is before I added the 2 inch taller coils and the bl and the 1 inch rear block.

MJones,

You had one (top 4) Rangers on this site. I loved that thing. The T-boned accident & the baby happened with a minivan, IIRC? I actually miss your truck.

Anyways, here's mine. I can't remember how tall it it...it's about a 5" suspension w/ 3" body. I'll have to remeasure the total lift sometime.

It's actually caked in mud and weeds right now & has the painted stock fender flares. I've yet to bathe her in about a month.

I did t-bone someone with it, but it got fixed. The pictures above showing the body lift is after the truck was fixed. I sold the truck to someone from around Chicago.

just what i personally have been wanting to see. i was hesitant about in the future getting step bars with a 3" body lift, because i didnt want it to be a big gap.

looks really good though!

The nerf bars don't have gaps with the bl. Look at my posting above and see my 99 Ranger and see that the bars are the same distance with the suspension lift and with the bl. There is no difference in spacing.
