    Solved Lifts and Max tire sizes

    i know for sure that the 97s did have the option of having the bigger sized tires, as my 97 sport came with the 255s. now im not 100% sure that the limited edition X came with them. most people on here can fit the 265/70s or 31" tires on their X with just the stock suspension, so im assuming you...

    Wax & Cleaner Recommendations

    honestly, if your explorer isnt black there's no reason not to take it to a full service car wash. i work at one, we vacuum, clean your whole inside (windows dash gauges cupholders), the outside gets a great wax, or if you go with a better package you get the single, triple, and full body rain-x...

    load range

    im planning on purchasing some treadwright tires, guard dog m/ts. i can either go with the 265/70 or 265/75, but im not sure which load range i should get. it says on this website that my explorer has a weight of 3,690, so i just need help deciding on a decent load range. thanks in advance

    Kinda off topic but, deciding between 04 Mustang Mach 1 or 2002 Camaro SS

    just please, if you can work a clutch. GET A CLUTCH. biggest pet peave of mine is when people whom i know that are perfectly capable of working a clutch buy and automatic American Muscle car. Make it loud too :p:

    1997 4" inch suspension lift

    yes^^ and all i am trying to say is that IMO it sucks that Ford made the suspension the way they did making it harder to fab up suspension kits, and i would love to do the 4" lift but its just too damn expensive for me, and it sucks that the Tbars have to be relocated. all i'm saying sorry for...

    Off-Road Light Questions

    hey fedyfedz, do your lights glare off your hood at all with that location of lights? or does the aftermarket thing on your sunroof block light at all?

    1997 4" inch suspension lift

    Nope, i just like to read up on things on the site, not from my own experience Actually, i know exactly what i am trying to say. LESS GROUND CLEARANCE. i should have been more specific in saying the only part i dont like about the 4" lift is the fact that the torsion bars brackets must be...

    2" body lift

    so i can use the 2" lift for a 2nd gen? thats what i was hoping, but i wasnt quite 100%, sorry for not being specific. i am looking to just the the 2" along with TT and Shackles to try and fit 33s. i dont really want to do the steering extension so that is a main reason.

    Calling all 2 doors..

    Warrior Shackles aren't dangerous to a truck, just maybe a good way to flatten a mono-leaf pack. if you are really concerned about being level in front and back i'd suggest going with the ranger torsion bars. my buddy has done this, and has gained 2.5" suspension lift from twisting the bars...

    1997 4" inch suspension lift

    well what im thinking of doing is the 3" BL and the TT and Shackles. that sets me at 5" higher, and makes me happier. the problem first of all with the 4" lift kit is that only 1 company makes it, and it requires reloaction of the Torsion Bars, so your ground clearance is less anyway. the 4"...

    Warrior 153 shackles install with pics

    do the wheels need to come off before this? or can they be kept on? taking them off wont be such a pain considering most people do the TT with the shackle placement so they need an alignment anyway. just a quick question

    2" body lift

    stock 2" higher of sport, 1.5 suspension and 2" body. should have been more specific. stock 255/70s have advantages :)

    2" body lift

    i am thinking about doing a body lift, but i want to do just a 2" lift, and not the 3" because i dont need toooo much, but enough to fit some 33s. anyone know of a 2" body lift that fits the explorer?
