Hi Rune, I haven't put an add-a-leaf in the rear yet, and now you've told me yet another reason why I can't do a modification I wanted to!!!!! I wasn't really seeking a whole lot of lift, just to correct the sag in the rear end that Explorers tend to get after a while. Actually, yesterday...

It Fits! (But not dancin' yet!) Went to Big O today and they took off one of my tires and tried it. The kid said it was tight, but it managed to fit the space. But then the manager tells me that plain steel wheels are not available in 16" with the 5-lug pattern!!! Great! Looks like...

Hi all, I know that ths has been asked previously, (as I dutifully performed a search prior to starting this thread), but most of the posts wer inconclusive and several months old. Ford is being nice enough to reimburse me for the BFG AT KOs (265/75/R16) that I bought back in February...

Newbz, I would have to agree with the above post that the 5000's are a tad on the stiff side for a mainly street rig. I had them on a Toy pickup, and while they were fine for offroading, they made day to day use of the truck uncomfortable. My girlfriend (now wife) all but refused to ride in...

OK, got the size settled,,, Now which Tire? Thanks guys, It looks like I'll end up with the 265 70R 16's, but it appears that that size is pretty rare. As I mentioned in my original post, I spend a lot of time driving on wet pavbement, so rain handling is really important. I've...

Hi, I just found this board while trying to get an answer to this question: How big a tire can I put on my stock '97 Eddie Bauer? The current tires are 255 70 R16. I'd like to gain some altitude but don't want to have to do any cutting. The kid at Les Schwab said the max I could go is...
