2000 XLT 7" Lift 34s

ExplorerDMB · 11-09-2004, 11:22 AM

If you look at the old pictures (with the 34s) you can see it fits the truck perfectly. I did have a little rubbing issue though. The diameter of the 34s were 34 inches exactly. The 33s are actually big 33s. BFGoodrich and stuff make their 33s to the diameter of 32.7. The 33s I am getting are 33.4 - only .6 of an inch different from the 34s I origionally had on there. So - with all that information, I think I'll be fine. Let us hope so.

ps - right now I'm on undersized stockers...and they look extremely small. I'm waiting for these tires so people will stop laughing at me when I drive by.

ExplorerDMB · 11-09-2004, 04:31 PM

I sure do! Show me!

ExplorerDMB · 11-29-2004, 08:01 PM

Well I've had my new tires and wheels for about 2 weeks now, but my digital camera broke. I sent it to Kodak to get it repaired. I accidently bought a new one so if anyone wants the Kodak one thats basically brand new again, click here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...d.php?t=121918

Thanks,
Drew

I will post pictures hopefully by next weekend.

I am running the superlift 4in, w/3 in body lift with 35 in nitto's on 15x10 rims. The only issue I found is the found suspension is too soft. So I built a custom dual shock hoop set up.

I was going to ask how you ft 35s, but yours is a sport. It'd like to see some pictures.

They weren't round and would spin horrible on the balancer. When you spun the tire, the run out on it was horrible. It would shake my truck if the tires were off the ground (ex: transmission service). So yeah, it could of thrown out bearings, axles, a lot of different stuff if I would of kepted them. I woulnd't buy TrXus M/Ts from anyone - atleast not 4wheelparts.com.

-Drew

one more thing - one tire wanted the quivelent to TWO POUNDS of weight. That shows you how Sh*tty those tires are.

Looks great

. Love the new wheels. You can barely even tell that the tires are a little bit smaller.

ExplorerDMB · 12-12-2004, 09:07 PM

That is why I went with the SSRs. Only .6" of a difference (33.4"). Thanks for the compliment.

-Drew

*Premier* · 12-13-2004, 04:06 PM

I like those tires.. maybe I will run those next. Truck looks awesome.

ExplorerDMB · 12-18-2004, 09:05 AM

Thanks everyone. I am regearing it to a 4.56 ratio in mid-jan with a Ford Racing Limited Slip in the rear. Going to a fun install. My first gear swap. I've replaced a few diffs with the same gears, but never upgraded. I recieved Richmond Gears stuff earlier this week (the Ring and Pinion, complete install kit, and a solid spacer for the crush sleeve). I will possibly take pictures.

thumbs up dude

*j602* · 12-19-2004, 08:52 PM

I must say that truck is looking very nice. Much better w/ the new tires/rims.

ExplorerDMB · 01-31-2005, 11:57 AM

Thanks everyone. I believe a lot of people here have used 4wheelparts.com, and probably they recieve their Off-Road Adventures magazine as well. Well, I believe (don't hold me to this), that they are putting my truck in there. I believe it's in the before and after part! I guess we will see! Keep an eye out in the next up coming months for it!

-Drew

*bmxking5* · 01-31-2005, 12:41 PM

That's AWESOME, I'll definitely look out for it.

*j602* · 01-31-2005, 04:04 PM

schweet! Is it just going to be in the readers rides part with a before and after?

ExplorerDMB · 01-31-2005, 04:14 PM

Possibly. The girl that contacted me didn't say exactly where I'd be. For all I know I could have a small little corner of a page. But I am guessing its in that section.
