"the appletrees you're used to weaving around washington"

WOW If you had any idea what you were talking about then you would have not made that statement. And by the way....Not everybody wants to jump their truck....Some people just like to go wheeln'

I had no idea that this would spark an argument lol, but I Just want a lift on this truck for the offroading at my ranch and for the few times i go mudding down in my area. I can promise you I will not be jumping this truck often if at all. That just sounds hard on the truck lol. But thanks for the responces guys

what does weaving around apple trees mean btw?

Haha. No need to be sorry man. Some people just need to voice their opinion in a more civilized manor is all. Washington is kinda famous for it's apples and this gentleman seemed to be under the assumption that the only thing in Washington is apple trees. LOL.

Back to the topic....If you just want to do some wheeling and run 35's then any name brand lift will do. I'd say find the best deal you can witch in my case would be the Rough Country 5" lift for $1000.00 Here ya go http://roughcountry.com/suspension/4...0_97-03_5.html

I know it's only a 5" but If you want the full 6"s of lift then crank your t-bars just a little. Like 2-1/2 turns and get that inch. Save some bucks that way, and it won't effect you ride or damage parts if you just crank them a little.

good call on the 5 inch. to be honest, all lifts are good lifts. you just need to find whats best for your application. I dont beat the hell out of my rig, so i dont need a million dollar suspension. Unless your going out to professionally hill climb, or do some serious dune jumping, anything on 4wheelparts or a comparable website will do you fine.

sorry guys i was on vacation until now but im back first off I hate being called a liar more than anything so that pissed me off, second I was drunk so that just added to it (even though I probably would have said the same exact thing if I were sober) third I have gone "muddin" plenty of times its not just sand in so cal we have dirt and mud too, fourth .... 3.slow? hahaha try 5.0 check out my pics there is no part of that ranger that is slow, fifth even if you dont plan on jumping it or useing the lift for what its made for its always nice to know you can without it breaking on you and I understand that any part can fail but when its the same part over and over again and you find out its cause they went cheap and married up a chevy part to a ford spindle it gets you wondering what else they went cheap on, and last i though I would share my personal experience

darn. thats the only reason i bought mine, im disappointed now. haha. seriously though, ive been looking at the 5" Rough Country as well. whats everyone heard about it? i wont be jumping, but drive off road a lot
