well i did it im now running 31x10.5R15 goodyear wrangler authority's on my 2000 xls. no lift all factory suspension except for some rear helper springs, which i am using to eliminate some rear sag i had goin on. the only mod i had to make was a slight trim to the front of the front wheel well, very easy took about 5 minuites with a hack saw, since it was all plastic. the trim was only 1 inch in from bottom and tappered to nothing at 3 inches up basically a triangle. i am very happy with the way these tires preform and handle on this vehicle rides like a totally new truck. pics comming soon

posting pics soon my 1 year old kinda dropped my camera in the toilet so waiting on a camera
 






On my 96 I ran my 31's with no lift and will probably do the same on my 2000 I just got, but I wanted more clearance so I did the TT, warrior shackles and aal.
 






will 245r75/15 tires fit on my 2000 explorer xls without any modifacations? if so,how will it throw my speedometer off.
 






I just put BFG 31x10.5x15 on my stock explorer with Ranger rims..they fit fine and look good. The ride is also good..no rubbing...
