Any Ideas???
Hey guys,
Just picked up a '93 Ranger SuperCab. Got it free from the old father-in-law. Anyways, It has stock rubber on it and that just ain't gonna get it. Got a 3" body lift ordered and am gonna go with some taller rubber. Here's my
question(s)...
1. Any suggestion for sizes?
2. What speedo gear do I need to get so it's accurate?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Not entirely related to your questions, but before you install your body lift, I might humbly suggest you read this thread:

It would be a good idea to read through the link Fred posted to make sure you get the body lift properly installed.
Don't know what you plan on doing with the truck, or what engine it has, but w/ the 3" body lift you could clear 33" tires (285s), but if you have any engine smaller than the 4.0L, then I'd highly suggest agaist it b/c the truck would be slow as molassis.

To answer about the speedometer, I think by 93 they were all using VSS, so it would be a quick dealer reflash to get accurate speedo reading (or through a tuner if you have one). There might be some kind of way to change it with a series of button pushing on the dash, but I have no idea if the rangers have that or what you would do. (maybe someone else does?)
