2008 Ford Ranger 2dr extra cab
3.0L 5speed automatic with 8.8 rear end

plans are to extend the stock arms 3 inches and use spacers in the rear wiith 4.5 fiberglass fender flares on all corners with a preunner bumper/skidplate and a mild bedcage with a 3link system keeping the stock bed

***Fell free to ask questions and comment on the progress

looks good.. Im considering doin something along the same lines myself, cant wait to see the finished product!

its now street legal!


fenders mounted and bedsides rough mounted



here she is at home all done


headlight mod. im thinking of getting those chrome bulbs that turn orange when lit



yah. i need those other bulbs...



body lines finally matched up! (somewhat) head to cut stock bedrails off and get to the inner skin of the bed to drop the glass down enough



1" washers and 1/4" allen bolts holding it in place



all mounted up. hoping to get tire gate done by end of month with new tires/wheels



body lines again



Well the truck is now street legal and progress is going to a crawl since school started.

-BFG KM2




-Goodyear MTR Kevlar




-Toyo Open Country MT

My vote is for the BFG KM2's, I think they look the best.

you are using wheel spacers on the rear? if you are planning on making this a real prerunner stay away from spacers, they put unwanted stress on you studs, and the last thing you want is unwanted stress on your studs when you are hitting moguls and dunes...with that said, truck looks sick man

KM2s

spacers in the back are very safe. ive known numerous guys that have run them and not a single bent stud. highly unlikley. the front is wear it wears out parts. mainly wheel bearings. but thats it. theyre just temporary
