Show off your LIFTED 2nd GEN

Lets see 'em

Tough to line up, the inner fender limits the placement if you want to have it line up with the door somewhat.
but it came up alright!

do u have any pictures from under the hood ? i want to do this some time soon.

 

[2TimingTom]

Under the hood for mine you can't see anything. My air tube comes in from the fender.

It's between the fender and the engine bay and above the wheel well liner that you probably want to see.

so it connects to the existing input hole in the air box ? do u have to take off the fender to get it bolted up or can u do it with it on ?

 

[EFFalcon]

Nah, i blocked up the standard intake hole on the airbox (its at the front)
made a new old in the side and attached some pipe and sealed it all up.

I didnt remove the fender, but it took a little bit of trial and error getting it all up in there, its very tight between the fender and the inner fender/engine bay so theres not much room to move.

the tyres are 33 12.5 15's
Wheels are 15x8 with 3.75" backspace.

Mine connects through the side. Removing the fender is actually pretty easy. There's one fastener behind the turn signal, but the rest are pretty obvious.

thanku very much for showing me pictures. also, did u have to fabricate something to connect the airbox to the snorkel where u cut the hole ?

[2TimingTom]

Nope, I just bought a rubber PVC coupler that was the right size.

what PA body lift kit # is being used for the 98-2001 Explorer? I used the blocks that was with a 98 Ranger bed & extended cab I bought several years ago, The cab also had the steering column extension, but both front & rear bumpers were already sold. so I don't have the bumper relocation brackets. I need to come up with a parts list #s for the brackets to order from Performance Accessories or find some parting out a Ranger or Explorer with the needed brackets or make something up myself

so ive only had my mounty for about 3 months now and i absolutely love it. so far i only have the TT and shackles, still have to put my helper springs on which should bring the rear up maybe another 1/2"-1" (wheels and bull bar courtesy of the previous owner ), but before winter hits i will be getting some 31x10.5 tires.

[traveler]

I really like those bumpers!

 

[2TimingTom]

Thanks! I've been thinking about getting at least a front for my Expedition as well.

 

[2TimingTom]

Got some air under those tires!

The clean black wheels against the mud covered tires looks sweet! nice truck!

limiting straps,

Why do you have limit straps AND torsion bars? I thought torsion bars did a "fantastic" job of limiting travel by themselves.

 

[gmanpaint]

Superlift kit comes with the limit straps, and he has his sway bar off. T-bars won't stop the C/V's from overextending like the sway bar does.

 

[Turdle]

The torsion bars are actually the cause of over extension.

 

[rpenner54]

Just a torsion twist and some shackles for now. The future holds more but gathering parts. It will need some good amount of trimming to work the way I want. Those are 36x13.50x 17.

9"s with 37"s Soon to be bigger...

I hope you do an SAS when you go bigger
