Leaf spring suspension
Rancho 5000 shocks all around

WOW! speechless!
 












UMMMM....Yeah! Good work lizard!
 






that is bad ass
 












it is now my backround on my desktop
 






Well the truck made it 400+ miles across PA and back, on AND off road, and held up great, a few small adjustments are in order tho, this was the first time this truck was tested since the SAS so it turned out great.
 






What are the front leaf springs out of or are they custom?
 






Chris--something looks weird, maybe it's the lack of a front bumper! Are you going to make one or anything?
 






Nothing's weird man...thats f'n sweeeeeeeeeeeeet :eek: :D :bounce:

Ahhh, Chris just knows i'm giving him a hard time!!
 






dude your explorer is a beast....that is by far the coolest thing i have seen in a while...you did some awesome work....keep showin us some pictures of yer truck in action
 






The tires you're running, are those Claws or Mudzillas? I am asking because I see the Maxxis sticker on the side...
 






Those are mudzillas, he is sponsored by Maxxis. Lucky:p
 






I was wondering, because I have been considering getting a set of those and was curious as to how well they perform. Although the ones I am really interested in are the Creepy Crawlers, but they're not out yet:(
 






The creepy crawlers do look good but they dont make them in the size I want. The only ones I can get are the Buckshot Mudders.:(
