What to Do, where to go next

Hey im extreamly new to 4 wheeling but im already hooked. I just bought a 2003 Ford Ranger SuperCab XLT 4x4 30,000 miles on a 4.0L. Its got brand new wild cat EXT 31x10.5 and thats it. i dont know what to do next. its my daily driver so nothing to extreme, i would rather not lift it. i was wondering what i should do next... any help would be great.  

It depends on what kind of off-roading you plan to do. I'd maybe do a mild 2-3 inch lift, maybe an intake and/or exhaust. Spray-coat the bed, maybe even spray-coat the interior floor. Ask rngprerunner. He's a hard-core Ranger guy, he could probably give you some good advice.  

The smallest lift he could do would be a 3" body lift. For your truck the only options for lift are 4" Superlift, 4" Trailmaster, 5" RCD, 3" PA Body.

But you don't want to lift it so doesn't matter.

I would do shocks next. Procomp ES-9000's are a good offroad shock. Or even better would be a nice set of Bilstiens. You can get the Bilstiens from the FX4 L2 from your dealer for a decent price and they work awesome! Or you can step it up to 7100 resivour shocks, but that takes some fab work.

Do you have a limited slip? A nice limited slip or locker in the rear will make a world of difference.

Being an XLT you have carpet right? So coating the interior is out of the question, and I wouldn't recommend it anyway. A nice spray in bed liner, or some off-road lights would really spruce it up.

So yea, your options are pretty much limit less. My truck is a DD too and look at it! LOL
