Thanks
David

 

87 xlt 4x4 3" lift on 31's
88 2wd xlt stock

NEVER LOWER....

The Higher the Better

 

Neither is better. Depends on the tastes of the owner and the uses of the truck. My Ranger is lowered 3" because that's what I want . If you like lift, then lift and enjoy.

Dono, I never figured you to drive a lowered truck.

BTW are you still running for President in 04?

Anyway, I like both ways. It just depends on my current mood.

 

dono in 04!!!!!


hey dono ware did you find your "ground" effects kit? and do they make one for a extended cab ranger? thanks for any info

 

Lifted.

Nothing would be more humilliating then running up under a wannabe ricer (a stock toyyoda?) in the event of a colission. Over the top is ALWAYS better.

 

1994 Ranger - stock
1987 Ranger ext cab - stock
1978 Bronco stock for now.... will lift in the near future.

 

The ability to put the wheel hard left or right at speed to avoid a collision is a plus that my lowered Ranger has over lifted trucks. For that I sacrifice the ability to clear objects above 6 inches, but I rarely encounter them. As I stated, it is a matter of choice with no wrong answer.

I've always been into customizing and have done it to many I've owned. The Ranger is an ongoing project (someday I will update my gallery) with the next mod to be done the rear. I have been looking for a Lincoln Navigator backup light assembly to put in my tailgate so I can put stainless pipes out the rollpan where the license currently is. I do this at my own pace so I don't know when it will get done.
I started my presidential run in jest, but feel that I could screw things up just as well as the ones who claim to be serious.
Thanks for your interest.

I went to a local truck parts supplier and looked through their catalog (sorry I don't recall the brand). You might try getting a TRUCKIN magazine and check out their advertisers. Good luck.

hey dono are u relly running for pres in 04 and also i wanna see the pics of ur truck i have yet to see a good lowered ranger!

 

I completely agree, Dono. There truly is no wrong answer - it is preference plain and simple.

Though, in your scenario I must shiver at the though of not seeing them coming in time to avoid them by turning the wheel. At least in the lifted truck, if they do sneak in from your blind side, it is a safe bet they will get the worst of the damage. You can also manage a large part of the inherent risk in a lifted truck by slowing on corners and curves, if the vehicle height is . . . excessive.

Again, opinion - nothing more - on my part.

 

stock front height, rear lowerd 2" (removed lift blocks) to level out truck.

 

personally i like lifted better and i plan on it...but like dono was sayin the thing i hate about lifting or any tall suv is the unstability on the highway...stuff happens so fast its scary. trying swerving at 80mph in a 4runner with 31s...not fun!!

 

? Slow Down ?

. . just a thought.
