92 explorer on 22's

[Balla4Life3698]

i just recently purchased 22's for by 2wd 4 dr explorer... i would like to lower it to where the tires are tucked up in the wheel wells... would a 3 inch drop be to much and will i have to do any mods to the wheel wells to do so...

What size tires are you running (overall height and width)?

depending on the tire size.. itd look real good with a 3" drop.. Im running 20s with 275/45s and Im gonna lower mine 2" next week but im 4x4

I have a 5" drop on my Explorer, with a 31" rim/tire package. 18" Saleens wrapped in 285/50-18 in the rear, and 255-55-18's up front. I tuck just a little bit of the rubber in the fenders.

A 3" drop won't get you what your looking for.

Anything more than a 3" drop, and you're going to have to C-notch the frame.

And when you get to that point, you will also have to swap to a 2nd Gen gas tank, as the fuel filler inlet gets in the way of the axle travel. I had find out the HARD WAY...luckily no fires!

The ideal tire size would be 265/35 which is right at 30".

that' s the same tire size on mine and it rubs on every dip and every time i make a right turn. and i have 3/4 drop

Thats why I raised mine back up and after a new set of tires. I will drop it when I find the right upper arms to correct the camber.

Different suspension. I will be ordering the upper arms from AIM soon, then I can drop it back down to 3.5".
