96 Explorer Before & After

[Digger196]

so thats just the TT and shackles and 33 on there?

Ha. I thought that might come up. No one thought it was the same Ex the first time I posted it because of the difference in color. The key pad is gone because I reversed the photo so they'd be facing the same direction.

Those are 32's on there, not 33's.

 

[Digger196]

hmm must be the angle! so 32 do rub some under there w/ the TT and shackles you say? How much trimming you have to do?

 

[section525]

Pretty minimal... but ballsy, trimming. I took about an inch or so back from the rear of the front tire.

 

[section525]

It's not the cleanest trim job. But my fenders were dinged anyway. Plus the other side looks tons better.

 

[Digger196]

alrighty. will 31's have to get a trim job if i get them?

 

[section525]

Nope. Thats what I ran for the last year or so. Never rubbed at all. Do you have the TT/Shackles done yet?

 

[Digger196]

getting them done next week whill i'm outa town. bud of mine is doing them and when i wear out the tires i got on there now i'm replacing them for 31 sence thre no rubbing in them!

I think you'll love the new look of your Ex after the TT/Shackles. If you click on the link in my signature you'll go to my website and the 3 pictures at the bottom are of mine with 31's and TT/Shacks. Good luck and post before and after pics when youre done.
