ExplorerKing01,
I used Truxxx #102010 for 2006-2010 Explorers. I called them and they said it would not work on a '02. I saw no difference and ordered one from tire rack online anyway! It worked fine and gave me 2.5" front and 2" rear, NO PROBLEMS!

ExplorerKing01,
I used Summit Racing brand kit #7888300. It's the same as Performance Accessories PA-883, but a little cheaper! It's for a Ford Ranger, but adapts to our needs. Read the Body Lift Sticky in the forum!

rrockwel- You may have a quicker response from Miller if you were to PM him. I believe his lift is only a 3" body lift with 265/75/16's.

Yep that pic is just of my 3" body lift. I too did the Truxxx lift but until i sell those tires i only have the front spacers installed, so it gives it that prerunner look. heres some pics:





sorry about the crappy pics. I just finished installing them literally 20 minutes ago. tomorrow i'll wash the truck and grab my good camera!!

they are 265/75/16's so they are 265mm wide which comes out to 10.43" wide.

so here are the shots of 3" body lift and 2.5" Truxxx spacer in front only:

Dang that looks good. I guess that tells me that 265/75 r16 won't fit on my stock mounty. Looks like it would scrub with out the lift.

Here's my '04. First picture is after installing '06-'08 taillights, second picture is after having the hood repainted due to the usual corrosion and having a '04 Mustang GT hood scoop installed and 3rd one is close-up of the hood scoop.
