Thanks I was contemplating painting it black but deicided to leave it alone and plus its just gonna get scratched anyway.

Heres a first gen with 36in tires with stock wheels. Of cousre a bigger tire has more sidewall which can flex to allow the bead to sit better on the rim compared to a smaller tire but still.

that doesnt look to bad from that angle. I bet it looks funny from the front though.

Hey man.
Seriously nice Explorer
I have a 96' and was wondering where you bought your body lift?
and what problems did you have installing it as well?
E-mail me at R2craycr@hotmail.com if you get this.

cool...looks like you have taken good care of her. How hard is it to take off the old pipes to replace them with something like yours??

 

[Jd0gg919]

I took it to one of the muffler shops here in town and asked them if they could run duals for me. Since the spare tire was useless to me i took it out and let them cut part of where the spare tire mount was so they had clearance over the axle. Other than that they just cut everything from the cat back out and ran about a foot and a half of pipe to a little Y-pipe they made, then ran the duals to each side. For the tips I just asked if they could make them at a 45 degree angle and it was no problem.

Looks great. I have the same year, same color (just purchased last month). Hopefully some day my X will have the same stance and look as good as yours.

 

[Jd0gg919]

Thanks alot. Hopefully clear corners and billet grill coming soon!!

Thanks alot. Hopefully clear corners and billet grill coming soon!!

I was going to jump on those last week too... couldn't believe it took somebody so long to grab. Good buy...

 

[Jd0gg919]

Yeah I just knew one of the guys that were ahead of me were going to seal the deal. But fortunately they're getting shipped to me on monday or tuesday.

How do you like the Pro Comp Shock im looking into getting the exact same one you have, can i have some feedback on them... did you get the 3in lift versions or the 0 lift..

 

[Jd0gg919]

When I bought the shocks, I had the shackles and TT which is 2 in. so thats what I bought it for. But come to find out, the shocks made for 2 in. are the same length as stock shocks so I can't tell a difference at all. Sorry. :\

 

[FocusSTGuy]

thanks i actually got them today and i compared the rears which are the stock height and the front with the 2 in lift versions, there the same except they gave me the wrong front shock have to go back tomorrow... how do you like the ride quality..

 

[Jd0gg919]

It's good but like I said, not much difference because of the length.

 

[99ex22]

Thats a nice explorer you got there! You and I, I think are the only explorer's on here running shackles, tt and 3" BL with A/T's Most people on here run mud's with this set up. After seeing my friends grand cherokee with Muds on it slide EVERYWHERE in the snow im sure glad I made the choice to get A/T's. If I could rate you I would give you 10 stars. Real clean! do you have a cardomain.com account?

 

[Jd0gg919]

Thanks man. As soon as i pay off my system and re-gear I'll be stepping up to 33's, possibly MT's, and new rims. I had a cardomain but I don't really keep up with it. I do have a vid for my exhaust on there though.
