I love BIG WHEELS....I also love "big wheels"..you know, the things you used to ride as kids...with the skid out brake on the side...man I wish they made a giant version of those!

But seriously, your rig looks really nice....maybe your next mod should be a taller garage so you can go even BIGGER! Those tires look like they could really tear up some dirt...

your truck looks pretty stout for 31's. do you have any kind of lift? i really like the set up.

HEY thanks guys, there is currently no lift, I was able to squeeze those tires under the truck without rub. Next Mod I do will likely be a KKM and I desperately need to install 4 new shocks. Oh ya,,,,I love big wheels too.

Are you planning on doing a suspension lift any time in the future where you'd need longer shocks? If not, let me make a suggestion. Go with Monroe Reflex shocks. I'm not trying to advertise or anything, just relaying my experience with them. I put some on mine and the ride and handling improvement is great. In turns that I used to slow down to about 45-50mph I can now stay at speed and go 60-65mph no problem. The ride is also firmer (not harsher) and just feels more under control. They also didn't cost a lot.

where did you get them? how cheap is cheap? can you get them in longer lengths?

I'm not planning on lifting right away. Perhaps the monroe reflex would be a good option. I'll have to do some research...thanks guys

I got them from NAPA. The prices for my '95 were: front $44.99, rear $45.49. Well worth the price. I don't know about being able to get them in longer lengths. Maybe you could e-mail Monroe and ask them.

That's one good looking Explorer, and yes, those are some big damn tires!
