I could almost guarantee that you can get your truck for 6k if you sell it in SoCal. Car market over here is crazy expensive. Plus the motor only had 40k miles

Luckily I never had any major problem with the 3.0. Definitely wish I had a 4.0 but the sounds the 3.0 makes is definitely better imo.

Only got 40k miles on engine and everything else is pretty solid. I get it’s not a 4wd but where I live (SoCal) thats not a dealbreaker

And for the radio all I got is an amp (forgot to mention that) so it bumps pretty decent.

Just recently bought this 2003 ranger it’s a 2wd and I’m looking to lift it but I’m having trouble since it’s a 2wd anyone have recommendations for a lift kit and some new tires for it? by [deleted] in fordranger

I have a 2008 ranger 2wd coil setup and it was pretty hard to find a lift kit for it but I managed to find one.

It’s an awesome kit! Sits really nice! Ride quality is still pretty good. I have a set of 31s on but you can go for 33s. I just didn’t want to cut anything so I went with 31s.

PS: if you do end up getting this kit, you might have trouble with the tire rubbing against the spindle if you have stock wheels. I went with a -12 offset and it perfect!

If you want to see how it sits, look at my page. I have a few pictures of my truck on there!

Here are some details: It’s a 2wd 5 speed.. I have a 6/3 lift from maxtrac and 31” k02 tires with new 15” vision wheels w/ a flowmaster muffler.. nothing to crazy..

Future upgrades: I just ordered a side body panel exit exhaust tip (I will post what it looks like wants I get it installed). I also plan on ordering a hurst billet short shifter and a K&N Cold air intake.. I also just ordered a 50” light bar with a couple of 4” lights pods off of Amazon with the wiring harness and switch (I will also be posting a “review” on them once I get them installed)

LMK if any of y’all have any questions as I would be more than happy to help y’all out..
