i hope youre talking about lifting it, and not stealing it....id be sad if my lifted ford ranger got jacked.
these trucks are by far the most solid offroad platform to start with. ford wasnt kidding when they said built ford tough...i put 3inch spindles on mine and 33" tires, fiberglass fenders and i have long travel in the works... i love the way my truck looks and preforms. the tires will rob mpg but if you dont drive too far on a daily basis then you'll be just fine. if i had another ranger that was stock, id start the modification process instantly
