lift

Any suggestions? My caber was aligned "to spec" by Pep Boys, but the wheels sit like this when parked or after turning sharp. When I drive, they straighten out and are fine. I am not so much worried about the tires wearing as I am about having possible serious suspension issues. Also, my...

Looking at tires I'm going back and forth between 31x10.5 and 32x11.5 could some of you running 32 inch tires put up some pictures. I've seen a few searching through the forums. Anybody that's run both have an opinoin on one versus the other. I'm going to be doing the Shackle/AAL/TT lift...

Yup, had these shackles (Warrior) and 2" springs (Rough Country) for a year or so, sitting around, gathering dust. Finally put them in today. The shackles took about 15 minutes, used a bottle jack between the spring and the frame to line up the bolts. Saw that in someone's thread and though it...

So I'm a new member and a long time Explorer owner. I recently bought a 1995 Explorer Sport and I want to make it more off road capable. It is my daily driver but eventually it will just be my hunting,fishing, wheeling vehicle. I did all of the normal things when I bought it. The tires were...

Ive had my 04 NBX for about 3 years and I love it but I'm trying to give it a more rugged look. I bought a grille guard from steelecraft and I want a little bigger tire setup with more aggressive tread. I'm not completely opposed to getting new rims for it but I like the look of the factory 17"...

Hey guys I have an 08 ST with a 3 inch Truxxx lift but I'm looking at some AT tires. I narrowed it down to Dick Cepek Fun Country-II's sized at 265/75/16. What are my chances at the 32's fitting WITHOUT any rubbing? Let me know!

OK, so I am far from an expert on the D35 TTB but every time someone does a thread on modifying theirs I get all excited and start thinking about what to do with my own. In the past few years I have collected quite a few links in relation to the TTB in the 1st gen Ex and I’m pretty sure lots of...
