That is an awfully large tire to run if you want to lay body. It costs 20k+ easily to lay body with 20s and rubber band tire. It takes MAJOR modifications to do so.

A lot of people here have drops and have 20' rims. You just cant "lay body" very easily with them or any rims for that matter on Explorers. I have to ask a question though. You wouldnt happen to be DroppedKamelions friend would you? He is also from Houston and had a friend with a 99 that wanted to know about 22's.

There's none of that here but there's hell of a lot of Expedition on 24's with body lift. Same look as what you're talking about just bigger.

X, I have seen a bit of Expeditions on 24's here but they were all 4wd, so they fit them stock. The ride height on a 4wd Expedition is about 3" higher than the ride height on a 2wd. But I sure as hell wouldnt put it past someone here to do that.

I see ricers on air shocks all jacked up on their 18's to fit. LOL Looks like a cat scared or a woman pulling her skirt up for high water crossing.
