2005 Explorer
I have a 2005 explorer,and ordered the needed pucks and bolts to create a 1.5" body lift out of 3" pucks. No,I didn't come up with the idea btw. I just received the kit today $60 even,and it's raining. I'll put them on tomorrow hopefully,but I'll have before and after pictures of every lift kit I add. My goal is to fit 34"-35" tires.

34's will be tough on a third gen. Best of luck and welcome to the site.
 












I decided if anything I'll go for 32.5s,or 33s. I had problems with the pucks today when I attempted the body mount bushing pucks. They were spinning with the bolts. I flooded them with rust buster,and started using the torch but the rubber was engulfed in flames.
 






I have the ranchos on my truck and no other lift. But I'm running 255/75/17 (32.1") with no rubbing. I did have to ziptie the inner fenders but they were barely touching. I just figured better safe than sorry.
