I like, would like to see how it mounts to frame. Also would you be able to use a winch with it.

Mountains of East TN (lost photos)

I use auto extra hubs, got them from summit racing for about 102$. I have had them for about 3 years, no problems.

Decided I would update about the explorer, now as Quicklifts with spacers. I installed 4.10 gears, spartan locker in the rear. 285/75/16 grabber at2's. Rola roof rack, custom sliders.Next to to do I am working on installing a winch. Here's a couple pics.

Heres mine

I replaced them with adjustable ones from eibach.

Do you have the adjustable camber kit? Mine did this at first, than I got a alignment, I had to much camber at the top, after they adjusted it it pulled my knuckle away from the spring.

Royal Purple and motorcraft filter.

Quicklifts and ebay spacers.

Cleaned the Explorer up today

I have 285/75/16's on mine.

Can someone look at these and tell me what you think of the pattern? I have a .030 pinion shim and .010 backlash. Coast side Drive side Coast side pattern left on gear Drive side pattern left on gear

Looking good.

If your talking about the the front, it is a universal KC light bar, i ordered it from summit racing.

Very smooth and quiet. Thanks.

Alright what do think of this? Backlash is .010, pinion shim is .036. Drive Coast

They will after I add the .005-.006 to each side for preload.They are new Motive gears.

That's what I am doing, I am also putting pressure on the flange. So far they very smooth and quiet. Pinion preload is at 20in/lbs right now at set up, no crush sleeve. I have a .215 carrier shim ring side, .298 non ring side. Thanks for the help.

Will do, thanks.

Alright how does this look? Pinion shim is .038, backlash is .012. Drive side Coast side

I have the magnetic base, but mine is a 2004 irs, so I have the aluminum housing. So I use one of my diff cover bolt holes and mount my dial. It will screw into the hole. The backlash as a range of .008 to .012. I have .010 right now. I have a .030 thousands pinion shim, it is the one that was...

I meant 0.10 backlash. I know, wish I could afford one but that's not happening, that's why I was asking if anybody thought the pinion looked shallow. The marking looks to close to the top, I was wondering if anybody agreed.

Can someone look at this pattern and tell me what you think? My backlash is at .10. I think the pinion is still to shallow. I have a .30 shim on it now. Drive side Coast side Any advice would be appreciated.

Wish I could say the same about mine, I have had them balanced twice, still have a vibration. I have already replaced the inner and outer tie rods, thinking my bearings are the culprit. Well I am installing 4.56 gears this weekend so i will go through everything and check it.

Thanks, should be easier on parts with the correct angle now.

Start making them, I would be interested in getting one.

I finally got the lower mounts the way I want, you can see the coilover is very close to be ing the same angle as the factory one.

I have got the BTF upper arms on mine, I have had the spacers and the stock coilovers. If you off road I do not recommend them. Like James said you lose wheel travel with them.The stock coilovers only have 2.5 inches of travel and that just does not work for off road adding the btf arms doesn't...

Couple pics of the explorer off road

Without the body lift, they will not fit. I have the spacers and a on inch body lift. I have 305/70/16's and had to trim a lot to get these to fit.

After looking at the suspension some more, I am not really liking the coilover angle I have. The suspension will cycle thru, but I just dont like the angle. The 1st pic is of the way it is mounted now, the second is of how I cut the mount to give me the correct angle. They will mount in the same...

Installed coilovers in the front, and quicklifts with truxx spacer in the rear.

I finally got around to re installing my coilovers, I also installed quicklifts in the rear with a spacer.

I have had the Truxxx/Traxda lift on mine for about 2 years and have not had any troubles with mine. I do have the btf upper arms so I don't have to worry about ball joints.

Pic of the Explorer with a little snow on it.

I like the first on too. I agree with Ronin, I think you keep the ends.

I like the rangers wheels. If it was me I would trade with him.

When the weather here clears up I'll get you some. I used 2x2 3/16 thick for the main piece, and 1x1 3/16 thick for the step. I used 1 inch dom tubing from the slider to the mounts. The mounts are from trail gear. 3 on each side and they are bolted to the frame. Thought about welding them, but...
