Default prerunner

i have a 2000 ford ranger and i want it to look like this. what i dont understand is how the shocks in the front stick out so there in front of the frame. also if i get flared fenders will the tires look good with it. there 31" but i mean width ways?

Longer Radius arms and fiberglass fenders. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but that's all I know about prerunners.

you'd need to do a lot of work to get coilovers on a coil spring truck. you have to cut out the coil buckets and reinforce the frame. about the fiberglass fenders, how wide are your current tires? if they dont stick out 1-3 inches beyond your wheel well right now then fiberglass would just look goofy being all that far out there for no reason.

that truck doesnt have radius arms. its got control arms. beam trucks have radius arms. your obviously thinking about the sickest prerunners (wich are gen 3's)

Just from some of the build threads I've seen on prerunners, you are probably gonna shell out some big bucks for that wide stance.

you need at least a 15x10 wheel to have it stick out a few inches past your fenders...
