3rd gen frame coverage after 3" Body lift?

[johnbyler]

Anyone have any solid ideas of a good way to hide the frame? I plan on getting nerf bars , but I still don't wanna see the frame through the bars. Any ideas? Thanks ,

i think that the nbx models came with plastic frame covers, not sure how that would be with a body lift though

might be worth looking into

could build a fully encasing skid plate of sorts

They're available from ford, listed under the Body > rocker panel subcategory. $145 each or for the set, can't remember.

Edit: the Ironman trim package came with them.

Those came factory on my '02 Limited, so I'm sure you could save a few dollars and pick some up at the junkyard.

As far as I know, my XLS is at stock height, however I can still see the bottom of my frame. Is that normal or is it possible the prior owner already performed a body lift?

Look at the fan shroud. If the lower one has been trimmed or there is a much bigger gap between the fan blades and shroud on the top half vs the bottom half, then it was probably body lifted.

If yours is the same style as mine, you should not see the frame. Here is an old picture of mine:

Looks so much cleaner with the frame covers on. I've been to the wrecking yard I-don't-know-how-many-times and have yet to find an Explorer with those.
