    Did you have any issues installing the Supreme lift/leveling kit? Did you do it or did you take it to a shop? Do you think it could have handled a three inch lift up front?

    My father and I actually installed the lift and it wasn't too bad. Getting the A-Arm low enough was the hardest part, but with a long enough pipe we got it. The only thing I will say is that even with the 2.5" up front and the 2" in the rear, my 265/75R16 Goodyear Duratracs still rub when going in reverse a little bit.I don't know if it's just because of the aggressive sidewall or what.

    I'm tempted to stick a 265/75R16 A/T tire on it instead to see if it still rubs in reverse.

    I just finished installing MOOG Quckstruts all the way around on my Explorer and ended up with 3” of loft in the front. Hope this helps.
