91+33's= ?

[JOE P]

New guy here and this is my first post. I have searched on my ? and havent seen a real answer so I looking for pics or info. Im about to buy a 91 2wd sport and I have a set of 33x125r15 tires on 15x10 ar767 rims with 3.75 b/s.
My question is how much lift will it take to make these fit? I seen a few pics but there either no description of lift or this or that so can anyone post a pic of there's and also tell me the lest amount of lift I can get away with.
Thanks

A body lift would work. But most people dont like em. You could prerunner it out and get a long travel kit for the front. Cost some mucho $$$$$$$. But looks bad as hell. Good luck

I was hoping to get away with a 3" b/l and the tires for now. Its a 2wd in its current state but I plan on doing a sas on it in the fall once I get the parts to do it. Can anyone post a pic of a 3" b/l w/33's on 15x10 rims?

there are so many pics of Gen I Explorer's on 33's just search google or cardomain, or even here.

I vote for SAS, add a t case and then pyut the 33's on, skip the body lift.

Or

do a custom beam lift kit for a 2wd, they are not that expensive.

2 wheel it. You could run a full suspension lift, or spacers, shackles, and a body lift, or coils, shackles, and a body lift, or just SAS it. You'll need at least 5-6" of lift.

3-4" of lift and trimming/fiberglass will stuff 33's

Well ive got a 3" b/l kit for a 00 ranger Im trying now to find out if it will work(steering extension has me wondering) and for the time being I was going to pick up a set of F150 coil spacers. This will tie me over till I get my D30 out of a XJ as soon as I find one. BTW this place is full of info once you getta reading about every one setups. Hence the F150 spacers. Im going to enjoy this site.

Um they make a body lift for your truck, why are you looking at 00 Ranger? They are way different from your 92 Sport.

Do a search on the body lift, you can find the part number for the lift you need.

I guess Im one of thous guy who has more time then money and I already have a b/l kit for a 00 that I will be removing from my Ranger. Ive got it sold but the guy doesnt want the lift on it. This is why Im tring to see if the b/l will work on the 91 Explorer Sport. Believe me thou Ive been on here for about 3hrs know searching and reading post from u guys and so far Ive found that some say you dont need a steering extension but others say you do so Im just trying to learn right know before I tear the sport apart. Ive got some pretty good plans for this truck besides the lift .

This also will be coming off the Ranger and finding its way to the Sport. hehehe

Oh you need an extension fer shizzle, 3" BL on a 91 = you need to extend the intermediate shaft, however I dont trust extensions, I would either weld, or get a custom shaft.

You trust your life to the extension they sell with the kit = I dont.

4" will fit 33s. These are 8" wheels with 3.75 BS though not 10".

3" bl and f150 coil seats and shackles will work. ran same size as you have with no problems.
