Ok new here but I'm buying a 2000 explorer all stock nd looking for a good lift that's a decent price what should I go with?

The guard is a TJM bar which has been modified marginally (new front tow points, painted black) and grille is a ebay one

Mine.

Did you paint the wheels yourself or did you have it done?

4 inch superlift and three inch body lift. Sitting on 33 12.50 Mud Terrains

Mine.

May I have some info on your swing out tire carrier? I have always wanted to fab one up using the stock bumper like the one on your rig. Looks Good

Don't, it's not strong enough. I'll be redoing mine soon.

Oh ok, well thanks for the heads up. Are you going to fab up a complete new bumper with a tire carrier? or just beef up the stock bumper?

 

[rjcooperss396]

I'm going to build a new bumper but keep the tire carrier. I have the build up of mine here.

@Alexdeluca, my friend painted them for me. What you first have to do and is key is to spray the wheel with aircraft stripper to remove the clearcoat. Once it has set off, rinse it thoroughly it off with water, the wheels will shine like crazy and will make you doubt spraying them black. Set them in the sun and let them dry for a half hour or so (here in California it's hot as hell during the summer so mine dried quick)...just be sure that they are dry before spraying (obviously). After that, you know what to do.

My 96'er says hello

here's my old beater I got a few years back.

just a baby war shackle and TT lift with 32x11.50's

daily driver. daily head turner.

When you TT the front, did your shocks stretch out and do you have that bouncy ride? if not, what kind of shocks did you use. I have Rancho Rs5000 on mine, TT about an inch n a half, any more and it just bounces along. Also, where did you get the shackles? Looks sick...exactly the height I want for mine.

 

[sfortson]

Stretch out? Bouncy??
Nah... Everything on mine rides just like stock.. I put the shackles on ( they are the War 153?? shackles... find order info on earlier threads) ...pretty common here... I just got the gold color
....Then I took truck to an alignment shop and they twisted the torsion bars on a laser machine type thing so it was all level...

 

[jcnx88]

OK, I'll have to follow your method. I found the shackles, am going to order them next paycheck. Thanks.
