drop kit. Agree. Taller tires. Wheels (rims) look good on it. Hopefully its a two wheel drive on a 2WD frame which will make lowering it easy to do compared to the Edge body 2WD which used a 4WD suspension in 2003. Was bummed when I bought mine and found out lowering or leveling was going to be difficult and costly if done right. THe Edge 2WD units had a 4WD torsion (sp?) front end suspension and sat higher than a normal 2wd XLT or other model 2wd.

Yeah it's just a basic 97 2wd 4cyl 5 speed truck
Nice little truck. I have one with 188,xxx miles on it and runs like new. Bed has a gangster lean for some reason.

Usually the leaf spring rear mount breaks and causes the bed to look like its leaning.

Are you running spacers on those rims? I got the same rims for my 03 ranger.
coupegt

No spacers yet but front ones centercaps won't fit so I will be putting spacers on front ones back ones are no problem

I bought mine a week ago, didn't even try to fit them on yet. Ordered 1" spacers fir all corners. They look good on your truck man.

Thanks I wanted welds or drag stars but had to go with the deal at the time and got these they will be fine when I get wider tires for the rear post pics when you get yours on your truck
