RZR1000 wheels on a Ranger

And I have to admit that I was winging it when I painted the wheels. I used Desert Tan Metallic from Toyota to match the Sanstone Metallic on my Ranger. Came out better than I thought.
 
Nice looking rig!!!
How much of a lift and why did you think you need the lift? So far I have zero clearance issues. I have my shocks in mounted in the outer top mount holes and the preload set one notch less than the stiffest setting.

As a side note I put my 800 mile old standard wheels and tires on CL and got $250 for them so very happy with my $50 out of pocket up grade.
I just went with the 2" inch lift from HL. Very well made and thought out bracket lift. I used the lift because the front tires scrubbed a couple of times when I went out for a cruise down the beach. I could of gone with forward A-Arms but I haul a Ranger and RZR on a 18' foot trailer and increasing the wheelbase would put the rear tires way too close to the end of the trailer in my opinion.

Sold my OEN aluminum wheels and tires for 450 so I ended up with 150 dollars on my pocket after expenses.

A buddy of mine was cool enough to let have a set of brand new RZR 1000 wheels for free so I jumped on it right away and here is what I had to do to fit mine.

I had to get 2 1" inch spacers for the front and 2 1.5" inch spaces rear to preserve stock width and I had to install a lift as well
. Once I did all that I was very satisfied with the results. I run them at 13 PSI so I don't have a lot of air pressure on them cause I ride on sandy terrain.
