I have included a link to show where to...

    Hypertech says "NO" to programmer for 99 up Explorers

    Explain "offset"

    What does it mean when a rim says +27mm offset or -27mm offset? I am used to seeing terms of '4" backspace' rather than offset. Can someone tell me how to convert offset to backspace?

    New way to lower the front end

    I have been talking to a guy named Gene who said he lowered his Explorer 5" front and 4" back. He used blocks out back but on the front he said "You will need 2 jacks to do this. 1st you jack the truck up and with the 2nd jack you jack up onto the torsion bar to relax the bar and bolt. Take...
