Default how much lift for 37's

I already have a body lift, but im doing sas and I want either 35's or 37's but I know that I want a suspension lift that can very comfortably accommodate 37's with no rub and plenty of clearance for suspencion travel on the trails.... i was thinking a 6 inch lift to give me 9 total, but i want to see pics for sure, so if your ranger is lifted letme know so I can check out yours pics...

thanks

This lol

But with kits you would only be able to reach 7 in of lift, so you would have to do an SAS for about 10+ inches

If you want to wheel 37's cut the fenders if you want to make it actually work well on the trails

What engine are you running? And have you thought about what gears your going to swap to? I have been thinking of doing the same thing but in stuck between 35's or 37's also.

Na, not gonna cut the fenders, just lift it higher lol, average penis thanks, I wanna take it completely off road and trailer it in a year or two and I would like to get 42's on it once that happens and I only wanna lift it once. I want 4.88 gears. I know this is a BIG project but give me about three months and ill have it on 35-37's ready to go.

6" of lift would be enough to clear 37s with bumpstopping and SAS.

Is it okay to add a suspension lift along with a body lift? How will that effect the ride? I was thinking of adding a 4'' suspension along with my 3'' body lift that I already have. I have 33X12.5X15 tires now. With that 4'' suspension lift, would I be able to add 37'' tires?

I would go more than 4.88's I plan on 4.88's with 35's. If you plan on going 42's and off-road you Should get a much deeper gear.
