Hey love the idea on a bigger suspension lift. Only problem is that's a 4wd lift. If it's adaptable I'll consider it.

I'm pretty sure rough country make a 4" lift for TTB trucks, and since your I beam front end is very similar to a TTB (TTB is just hollow i beams with driveshafts through them) I would imagine the 4wd lift kit would work on your truck. Don't take my word for it though, do some research, but it's definitely something to look into.

Rough country has a 2wd 4in kit too, you just have to look for it.

Okay now this is little off subject but what's the opinion on wheel spacers. And with 235s what's a good thickness? 1",2", 3" idk?

Id get offset rims not wheel spacers. Obviously wheel spacers bolt onto the existing wheel stud and have the secondary wheel studs coming off to bolt the wheel to.....that being said youd be risking braking off the stock wheel studs because all the weight of the truck is on those studs and if you go to wide with spacers it will stress them way to much

Okay so I got a 2" front end coil spacer lift. Heres my delima. I have a freaking twin I Beam. How do I get the coil bolts and nuts loose? And the bolt that goes through the bottom of the I beam, is it the bolt that holds the coil on?

Default Re: Body. vs. Suspension Lift

why are you complaining about the twin i beam suspension???
that's the better set-up for the rangers.
when they changed to the torsion bars they ruined the front ends

I love the I beams the only problem is they are difficult to get to float for me. I also have rusted bolts so I can't get em out.
