As long as you put light guards or covers on them I say yes!

Are those Hellas?

That's what it looks like to me.

None? lol

What kind of lift do you want?

1. Strut Spacers
2. Body Lift

The body lift is going to do what it sounds like, lift the body off the frame which won't do anything for ground clearance really.

The body lift will be a good option if you really want to lift the truck just for looks as there will be no Ill effects from doing it as opposed to the spacer lift which will raise your suspension but will cause more stress on your components.

I do like it, I still frequently use the am/fm and it is a pain sometimes to have to look to switch stations lol

o btw whered u get ur headlights?

Not sure what you mean? The headlights are stock.

Or are you referring to the bulbs?

 

[FordExplorer2002]

or yea the bulbs lol didnt really think when i asked the question :/

how much do both the lits usually run? what would be a good place or site to buy them? i do like the spacers cus i def could use the clearance but not sure yet lol

Bulb's are made by luminitics. They are nothing special, so do a little of your own shopping as there are many more options. I went with a 6000K but I'd suggest going up to an 8000K

Here is my 2002 Ford Explorer XLT. Sorry ahead of time if the pictures don't work as I am new to the forum.

 

[Triton8273]

I sure hope the mods don't stop there

Welcome!

 

[2002ExplorerFan]

Thanks, I plan to do some more mods in the future, but this is all I have for now. I'm thinking of painting the trim as it is starting to fade pretty badly. These pictures are taken after it has been washed and Eagle One Trim Restorer has been applied to it, that's why it doesn't look too bad.

I have never been a fan of lights without guards or covers but surprisingly enough they don't look too bad.

If you get covers, please don't get smiley faced ones....they're just tacky as $h!t lol
