- 2004 Explorer XLT
Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.
So, I did a fair amount of searching and couldn't find anyone with my direct setup for comparison.
Yes, a first time poster that did a decent attempt at searching!
Anyway, I have a 2004 XLT V6 that I just put Rancho Quicklifts on, which should give me an intial lift of 1.75" in the front and 1.25" in the back. I would've liked more, ups, but didn't want to have to stretch it to the limit.
I also got 1.25" wheel spacers all around. Again, wanted to push the tire down and out from the body, but without straining the stock suspension too much.
My question is, what are my options for tire sizes? I'd like to be able to safely go lock to lock and/or hit a pothole without rubbing... so not the absolute limit where I can't hit a speed bump without hitting my fender too, but just a hair back... or tell me what that limit is so I can dial it down!
I'm on factory 16"s, but am considering a move to a 17" as well.
If it counts anything for help, I joined Elite Explorers to support the forum & hopefully buy my way to some good advice.
