    Problem with my Air Ride Control Suspension, Replacing by Regular Shocks, Need Help!

    Look on the forum, there is a post somewhere where they tell you which wire to cut from the computer to remove the annoying warning. I went for the KYB shocks and I love them. Very comfortable and smooth. It will be a bit lower. I did the torsion bar twist, shackles, body lift 3", rear...

    WITH PICS: 3"BL, TT, Shackles, AAL & + Need tires! Which size max for EB97? Plz help

    Hello guys, here is my bad boy: Finally they are on. It drives really nice, not noisy and not too stiff even if its a D load range. I am running 285/75R16 and with the mods I have I do not rub at all. No trimming required, this is the best rig for me. It looks pretty sweet and...

    ok thanks for all the help I choosed to go with the BFG All Terrain Load Range D I did some research and found out that the Trxus are wearing out much quicker than the BFG and I heard they are often hard to balance and bad for highway. I will go 285/75R16 as suggested. I will post pic when they...

    The Super Swamper Trxus MT looks also really nice and are suppose to handle great on ice. They only do that size in the E load range. Would that still work on my explorer, or its too heavy? I was able to get the BG AT in D load range. The Trxus just look so much meaner.

    ok thanks, I will do some search for that. I am still not sure about the model. I really like the aggressive look too. Does anyone tried the Mickey Thomson Baja Radial MTZ? Just wondering how good they do on ice, and how long would they last. I also really like the look of the Toyo Open...

    thanks for the feedbacks. Seem like I should go with the 285. We basically have the same mods Rolla, and the same truck so it should fit. The 285/75R16 are only 32.8x11.2 You are running 33"x12.5 and had very minor trimming which you said might not even been necessary. I feel like the 285...

    Its probably the camera angle, cause I have it all installed ;) But also I am not on stock tires, I am running on 31", so thats probably why there is less gap. Your truck look great with the 285/75R16. I just hope it wil clear my sidesteps ok.

    If you were able to put 33x12.50R15 with very minor trimming on your EB. I should be able to fit 285/75/R16, thats only 33x11.50R16 so it shouldnt require any trimming since its not as wide. Anyone else running 285/75/R16?

    Maybe because I am already running 31". Fills up the gap more.

    Need Help: Explorer Eddie Bauer 97 Lift!

    I want something similar to this. I am not sure how much he lifted it, or the tire size. Maybe only the 3" body lift would be enough to look like that, with 31" tires. What do you think?
