Hey guys I own a 93 ranger 5 speed with thru 4.0 L

If I were to add at 4 inch lift and run 33s with the stock gearing of
373 ls in my 8.8 rear what type of driving issues and differences might I run into?
Assuming I did not do the drive shaft swap?

 

Sucky at best

I had 33s and stock 4.10 in my 96 4.0 Ranger and it really made a noticeable drag on performance. I would expect 33s with 3.73s to be damn near undriveable unless you wind every gear

 

SUPER-POOCH!

 

even putting 33's on my 351 made a little performance difference...

 

Its hard just to get into first , and shifting to soon leads to that rumbling low end vibration I was just hoping some one had the answers, also what type of fuel mileage differences with the 4.10? I can easily swap a 4.10 rear in it and get the front rebuilt

 

Would 4.56 gears work out ? I dont know a lot about gearing I know thats low but the put them in explorers I think?

 

Guessing it had 235/75/15's on it stock? which is a 27" tire 4.56's would put your cruise RPM real close to stock with 33's

 

I got like 13-15mpg with 33x12.50 swampers. 4.56 would be good but dont expect mileage to be any better.

By "wind out" i dont mean shift at 2500 rpm. Im talking 4k+

I also broke pretty much every part inside the d35 with 33s

 

So 4.10s with some mild performance upgrades sounds like the way to go.

Any ideas on toughening up the front diff or any replacements other then SAS?

Thans for all the answers guys

 

That is correct. I have a brand new engine so I dont mind building it up a tad for extra hp

 

Stock the 4.0s made like 150hp at the crank and last i checked there isnt a lot available in the performance department. Someone sold a supercharger deal but it was around $2500 and made a total of about 250hp.

I think with the od manual trans id go 4.56 and forget about dumping a bunch of money into the engine.

 

Also, there isnt much you can do to a 35ttb

 

Thats unfortunate .I saw that guys supercharger lol wish I had the money. I was just thinking a nice exhaust intake and remap or chip what ever can be done there . Well I guess I'll be hitting the salvage yard thanks guys

 

I think when they started throwing them in the mustang (WHY DID THEY DO THAT?) the peformance market opened up a little, but... put a 302 in it.

 

Critter has/is doing some work on one.......
