Its your truck man, do what you want to do. Personally my philosophy is lift 4x4, slam 2wd. But do whatever you think you would like best.

depends were you live too, i live in a town with minimal places to use a 4x4 but there are trails and such. thats why i lifted my 94
but its up to you man

Most desert racers use 2wd and they lift, the front higher than the back too. I think it looks a little funny but maybe that works better in the whoops and jumps at speed :question:

If you wanna lift it, go for it!

Who cares if it's smart or dumb, as long as you like it! You're gonna have haters either way... LOL

[1997fordranger]

[rngrdanny22]

Yeah, judging by your specs, 31's may be a little too large... maybe PlumCrazy will chime in soon... he's the man with this stuff!

 

[1997fordranger]

I had 235/75's on my old Ranger, a 96 2wd, 4-cylinder and the tires rubbed at full lock on the steering. It was basically the exact same truck you have except mine was a reg. cab.

 

[badinten]
