Jameih,

WoW havent seen your Sport before, one word: INCREDIBLE!!!! Have always liked the wider flares but didnt dig the grey color. Quality of the Line X looks awesome, do u mind offering what that cost? When I called local Line X dealer they wanted over $300 just to paint the bumper and I dont think that included prep...

Absolutely one of the nices Sports I have seen!

 

[Jamieh560]

Thanks for the kind words! They charged me $320 to do both bumpers and all the sport trim. Granted I took everything off and took it to them. ALso replaced all the 66 clips that hold the trim. I love the way line x looks and texture. They are currently doing my rack and roof rail as we
speak. I'll post more pictures when they finish.

I need to find a place like that, I believe local place wanted somewhere around that just to do bumper! Looking forward to seeing more pics. Makes me want to find some graphite flares and have them line X'd and then swap them out.

If it wasn't for your explorer being a sport we would have the same truck and i read what you did to your truck and that is almost exactly what i want to do to mine. How much was it all?

ok this is gonna sound stupid but i was wondering if anyone knows wat it would look like if i did the leaf spring lift from under the axle to on top like most trucks how much of a lift will this give me

The term you want to search on is SOA or Spring Over Axle.. its roughly 5.5-6" of lift.

This will get you started.

That looks good Kazer!

The Spring Over Axle (SOA) give you around 5.5"-6" of lift. If you don't match that up front, IMO it will look funny

EDIT: Mark beat me!

 

[Xeek]

what just a SOA looks like. front tires are 32s, rear are 30s.

His and hers (mine and my wifes) lol, Mine is the green one. I have since built a front winch bumper and mounted my m8000 on mine and put my old stock one on hers since hers was all tweaked from a deer impact.

 

[GRNMACHINE]

Cheapthrill, that is cool as heck!!!

 

[CheapThrillEX]

Pretty happy how they turned out.

Both 98s, xlt's, 5.0s, 3.73s with rear LS, same interiors, same rims, lifts,

Mine has 265k, hers 170k
Mine has DTRL, and side steps hers does not
I believe hers is 2 months newer.
Mine has 33x1250 duratracs, hers ATKO's

[GRNMACHINE]
