Talking Buying a 2003 Ford Ranger FX4 Level II

Sorry my other one I accidently got deleted. I have decided to do only a 4-5 inch suspension lift and throw some 33in to 35in bfg tires on it. Is there anything else that I would need to consider?

Intake, Exhaust, Performance chip. should do ya good. If thats your truck 4 inch is alot bigger then most people think specially on our small trucks. you should be good to go.

A 4" lift is fine, just very expensive, where as cranking the t-bars is cheap if not free, depends on if you do it yourself or not.
