Good looking truck you've got there! You can go into Edit Post to see what I did. Hope those pictures are some of the ones you wanted to show.

Trimming
All i had to do was trim a little bit of the inner fender, So far no rubs. I did the trimming with a dremel so you know it wasn't to extensive.
Thanks for the compliment.

YES, That looks odly the same as my exp. i just finished the 3" body a 33x12.50's mudt's. it looks really good. I would like to get one of those visors, how mutch and where did you get it? how hard was it to install, dose it leak? But now all you need is a detroit e-z locker and you can go anywhere, i know thats what i have and very easy to install, especially after installing the lift it will feel like a breeze!!!!! thanx, let me know i'm loking forward ,to hearing back from you!!

tires and visor
Hey! Thanks fot the compliments guys. 1st, the tires are 33x12.50 and the rims are a 15x8.5 with a 41/2" backspacing.
2nd The visor actually didn't cost me anything, I got it from a friend who didn't want it on his truck any longer, and he gave it to me for removing it. I believe it is just the normal lund model sun visor. It was easy to install, but you have to use sheet metal screws. When I put them in I made sure i used a lot of silicone. So far no leaks!!! and more importantly no rust!!
Thanks for all of the great compliments.
Have an Explorer day!!!

Thats a really clean looking truck. Nice man. About the tire size? Before you put the 3" body on, could you fit 31. I'm asking this because that is larger then most people can fit with a body lift, or do u have another smaller lift too. Looks good man.

31's
Hey, Thanks for the kind words. As a matter of fact I did have 31x10.5's on it prior to the body lift. They were continental A/T's and I definately had NO clearance problems with those, no cutting was required either. Oh and just in case, I had them mounted on the original rims.
once again thanks for the compliments, Hope your truck turns out GREAT!!!!
