I was wondering if everyone with a 91-94' explorer with a 2" suspension lift with 31" tires could post pictures of them or the website with their pictures. Also the same years with a setup of a 2" suspension lift and a 2" or 3" body lift with 31, 32 or 33" tires. Also if anyone has just a 4" suspension lift that would be nice also. If you could also tell what gears you are running in your differential and how you like them with how big of tires you are running. I know there are a lot of pictures already but a lot of them don't tell exactly what kind of lift and how big of tires they have. The pictures are all different too. Someone might be ramping their Explorer but you can't really tell how it looks most of the time. The same with the off road pictures. I think they're great and all, but when you want to compare different Explorers and they're all twisted up like that and have a tire stuffed into the well or one is flying up in the air you can't really see what it looks like on level ground, and how much ground clearance and stuff like that.
It would also be nice if everyone could write how they like their setup with the different lifts, tires, gears, and lockers. Tell about the what kind they are too. For example (31" all terrain tires") or (2" skyjacker suspension lift). With the tires it would be nice if everyone could tell how they performed in different types of terrain too like the mud and all terrain and how the bigger tires helped in different situations. Sorry it's so technical but I just want to get some information in one post that is scattered all through out the site and make it easier for me and everyone else to compare all the different setups that people have. Thanks |

Click on my link to see my pics. For lift I am runing F-150 spacers and Warrior shackles. Tires are Big-O 31x10.5 XT'S on stock wheels. Other suspension mods are RS5000's, front sway bar disconnects and no rear sway bar. For gears I am running 3.73's with a Powertrax NoSlip in the rear. I love my set up.

Check my website out. The pictures that are up right now of my Ex are with the 2.5 James Duff Lift with 31's. Since then though, I have put on 2" body with 33's. Pics of that soon.

Sorry but no pic of it flat on the ground. Mine has a 2.5" Duff lift in the pic, but now it has about a 3.25" lift. I made coils spacers that are .5" and 5/8" ( drivers side sags a little) and had the rear springs rearched to 3". So it sits a little higher now. I have Michelin LTX AT 31's that don't rub anywhere. I could probably go to 32's just fine. I have 3.55 gears which kinda suck but I like the highway mileage. 4.10's would be nice.

Thanks for all of the great pictures. They all help greatly in choosing a lift and being able to compare it to other lift kits and hopefully they will help out other people just as much in deciding how much lift they want. Thanks again

Hey Chuck...You added those 31'2 without any lift? No rubbing? You and i drive the same streets (Oceanside & Rockville Centre). I'm really anxious to put so height to my truck...31's might just be the answer...Then I need to find a decent mechanic in the area who knows how to install a 2" Lift. Know of anybody?
