35s in the rear....how much lift?

[Byrd91]

Hey guys. I'm trying to get together my long term plans for my explorer so I can maybe save a little money on the way there. I was wondering if a spring over with warrior shackles, the stock main leaf, and a ranger pack with no overload would be about enough lift for 35s in the rear on 15x8s with 3.75 inchs of backspacing? I'm hoping to not have to do fiberglass in the rear because its kind of expensive and I think that rear will match the front with fiberglass and about 4" of lift. I'm going to be using duff brackets with there coils and spacers, and maybe eventually get custom 4" coils. Let me know what you think.

I think that would work fine, I have so much room in the rear with soa and 3" body lift that I never come close. I think it would fly with just an soa, and your backspacing choice is perfect. TrckMagik has 35's and the rear has real little lift.

I want to fit 33s with a spring over and the duff 3"on the front with spacers. I think with everything else 35s should be no problem. Of course Ill have a better idea in 3 weeks when mine is done

given that combo... the rear should fit fine

The rear will be a lot higher than the front if you do that. I would say keep the spring under and either add warrior shackles or have the springs arched by a spring shop.

right now it has an addleaf, and shackles. (about 4')
The front will have 4.25 when i put in the spacers. The rear was sagged when I started so when all is removed, the spring over should be perfect. If not Ill take out the overload. Should flex better anyway
If that isn't enough or causes axel wrap, 4.25 to 5" isnt much!
