Re: My truck

Re: My truck
i know i could do that but would i not have to widen the rear courter panels in order to tuck the tires? and the reason i wqas asking is i have damage on my front quarter panels and have fiberglass to replace the front. but they stick out a few excess inches on each side. it would look sill just stock front

Re: My truck
there is no such thing as a quarter panel on a truck...called a bed side
also no such thing as a front quarter panel...its called a fender

you can usually find fenders on ebay for like $60-80 a piece but they dont come painted...you have to get them painted yourself.
Never checked for a ranger so im not sure of the prices, but this was the case with my other vehicles

Re: My truck
Like Matty and DJ said, 15x8 (or 16x8 in my case) and 10.5 inch wide tires will do the trick. My tires are a nipple hair outside my fender flares and it's perfect. Also, what's your price range? Because you can really do A LOT to "widen" your front stance; wide SAS, wheel spacers, 12.5" tires, long travel kit, etc.
----------
Sorry, just saw you said cost efficient. SAS doesn't really fall in that category.

Re: My truck
the long travel kits produced by dixon bros seems like the way i want to go. by replacing the control arms and such. is there anyone with experience on these 4x4 kits that would like to have a say in this?
