I went out wheeling today and a downed tree took a swipe at my X. :eek: I had no problem going over it the first time, but coming back through that ******* came up swinging, ripped my front license pate off, bent my antenna, and then sucker punched my passenger side mirror. :fire: I was...

I just got my lift in a week ago, no problems with that. :D But, I hit a pothole yesterday morning on my way home and now whenever I turn left, I get a very, and I mean VERY loud clunking/thumping noise! :eek: The garage I go to checked everything before I got it back, so I would like some...

Well, I finally got the lift on! :bounce: 'Bout time if I might add! :frustrate Next thing is the side skirts are coming off and I'll rhino the rockers. :hammer:

OK, here's the prob; under acceleration from 2nd - 5th gear I get a not-so-subtle shimmy! I can't figure out if it is my rearend, tranny, or, something else. :banghead: :eek: Another thing going on is a wierd ass howl from my drivetrain every once in while, it only happens when it is 10%...

Is there anyway to correct the cv joint angle if you go over 3" with a TT lift? Also after a TT goes higher than 3" can the camber no longer be ajusted or is there other types of adjusters? Later - Nate

My name is Nate! I drive a '96 Explorer XLT 4X4. I live in the great state of Vermont. Here are some shots: Before when she was stock. After new wheels and tires. And finally a shot of her out on the trail. I will be getting some custom leaf springs, putting on some AALs, and getting...

I am looking to buy some 31"s. I was wondering what people's general opinion on the brand and on/off road performance? I have heard great reviews from other people, but none of them drive explorers. So I wanted to know what people on this site thought of them! Later - Nate :D

I have aftermarket wheels that are, I believe stock spec, but not sure. What I was wondering was if I could fit 31" tires on them? I am not absolutely positive sure that the wheels are are stock spec, but they may be! Later- Nate

I am wondering how much drop I'll get from using 2"-3" lowering blocks, + taking my overload leaf out of my spring pack? I am wondering how much drop total or if taking the leaf out is even worth it? Later - Nate :yelexp:

No longer Goin' Low... After all the, "I hate street" e-mails and my family giving me ****, I decided to lift her up! I have everything I need and I'll get new tires in the spring. My own family started to dog me about dropping it. One of my younger brothers said he'd shoot me if I dropped...

BDS Will... I am wondering is a BDS suspension system work for the front of my '96 X? The reason I'm asking is their 4"and 6" lifts a reasonably priced and I want to do a SOA to my rear end. I want to know if anyone with a 2nd gen X is running this kind of suspension lift. Or am I stuck...

I am debating a SOA for my '96 X. I was wondering if anyone has used a BDS lift on their X? I want to see if I can use their 6" lift for the front of my X, if it is feasable. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Later - Nate :exp: :D

BDS Suspension Lift. I am seriously considering a SOA setup for the rear of my 4X4 '96 X, but I was wondering if, a BDS Ranger 4" or 6" lift would work for the front or will I have to breakdown and buy the Superlift kit? Because the BDS 6" lift looks sick and with a SOA rear with the 2"...

How do you go about doing a torsion twist? I am getting 2"-2.5" add-a-leafs for the rear of my rig and I see that every one is doing TT lifts to the front! I was wondering how difficult it is to do a TT lift or if I should even do one to begin with? If anyone has any comments of ideas they...

Hey there, I have been having a problem with my rig's idle. It constantly goes from 800rpms or so, to 450rpms or lower, then back to normal range. It does this every cycle. Please tell me that there is a simple, inexpensive fix to the problem and not the kind of problem, where I need to...

I have a '96 XLT that doesn't know how to have a normal idle! It constantly idles between 800rpms and 450rpms, and on occassion stalls. Typically when I pop the clutch going into a stop sign or stop light. I'm hoping it will be a simple, inexpensive fix, and not a major problem where I need a...
