Quick lifts and tires

[Mrobs146]

When I install the quick lifts do I have to get a 4 wheel alignment, and what setting is best to have it on? Also what size tires can I run? In inches. Thanks.

I've got 265/75r16s on ranger wheels on my wife's Explorer. It's lifted with rancho struts also.

Did you need an alignment?

It is HIGHLY recommended to always get your vehicle re-aligned after doing any suspension or steering work. I purchased the lifetime alignment deal from firestone ages ago and bring my vehicle to them any time I touch the steering or suspension. I'm sure they've lost a lot of money on me since 2011 to this day of bringing it back multiple times a year.

I get my top bolts to line up but the lower bolt that goes through the control arm is off what do I do about this how can I shift it?

Guys have done 33s on stock suspension so I'm sure you could do the same if you have 3.73s

I just finished quicklift all the way around and front upper control arms. I got the lifetime alignment and apparently it was needed.

Regarding tires I fit 285x75 R 16 with out spacers. With spacers the 285x75R16 hits the step. It is too far outside and I also trimmed the front bumper.

Three pictures are with Quicklift and 285x75R16 plus 1.5“ spacers.

Final picture is Quicklift with 285x75R16 and no spacer, wheel turned and clearing step.

Looks super good. I don't understand why people say you need a three inch body lift and coil spacers to fit 33s.
