Ford Ranger Lifted on 33’s! 2WD

[@davidstephens2261]

Love this video..This guy is about as honest as I've heard anyone.. From the shocks , to the headlights , black tape on engine light . 😅😂 pretty good video , informative , but also kinda funny.

Nice truck I've got a 96 ranger with the 2.3 automatic, I've only had it about 6 months but I like it.

Sweet truck I just got a 97 willed to me my dad passed same color I love it

[@Brigantine2008]

Nice truck!. I just got a ‘97. These are great little trucks🇺🇸

[@Reaper-b4s]

Good looking truck I never understood why anyone would want a 2WD off-roader, especially with a four-cylinder

[@ryckXattack]

I thought the same. Then I got one of these bad boys. They are surprisingly good off road for a 2WD. Perhaps it has more to do with driver skill, but my buddy gets stuck in his 4x4 bronco more often than I do on the same trails.

I have a 2wd lifted on 31s 😂 it’s all about the driver haha

As a guy who has had a few ridiculously capable crawlers, sometimes the challenge of a 2wd can be rewarding.

[@jacobhernandez9921]

Nice truck keep up the good work

[@utilizelife9556]

Just beyond the battery there should be a small box with 2 air lines going in. Check the hoses etc. That's why mine would go on and off until the hose fell off and the CE light stayed on. Box should be fine but those hoses need to be in good shape. Hope this helps and the truck looks great.

[@uzileopard6199]

Gamma from what I’ve heard, ford ranger 4x4’s are annoying as fuck to deal with. Most of the time they are hard to get in and out of gear, and often times need to be rebuilt. Better to just get a jeep, or get the 2wd ranger and build it up like a pre runner

Exactly my thought, I have a 95 3.0 with 31s and it tops out at 70. Can’t hardly maintain freeway speed unless I downshift

What is your wheel and tire combo?? I have the same truck but gold and im putting on a rough country 4 inch lift lift and buying some MT Baja Lock wheels on 31x10.50/15 and im wondering if I should get 15x8 wheels or 15x10? I like the offset on yours its perfect.

What I mean is your truck don't have that much of a gap between the tires but I want a gap so it don't look stock with big tires. That obvious lifted look is what I need

[@keithcampbell5433]

Shade Tree Mechanic ok thank you very much I have a 97 ranger splash 2wd with the 4.0 and I’m trying to make it a little more off-road Capable. I have a 2 in leveling kit with 235 75r 15s on it now so was just curious about the brake lines being too short after the lift. U have a very nice looking truck. I wish mine had a regular bed on it like yours. I Don’t like flare side like mine is now. The stance of ur truck is ideal for how I want mine to look. Building a front bumper similar to yours in a couple weeks or so. Do you still have your truck. One day I’m gonna stick prerunner suspension under is and hit the desert. With full cage everything. Gonna be awhile but I’ll make it there. Lol

[@keithcampbell5433]

My bad for all the questions man I’m dumb! I just watched some of ur other videos and answered my own questions lol. Im lookin to do the 5.0 swap also so I’m glad I found ur channel man. What about the old 70s ford I seen in ur video? That’s my fav years 78-79
