ranger lifting question
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?

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

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

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.
