Looks good. I'm looking forward to seeing yours with a 3" BL and mine with the 2", did you ever say if yours will fit on mine, being a 4dr? I'm thinking that i probably have a few more mounts then you but i haven't even checked on it? Anyways, looks great!!

Happy trailes!

 

[Yomie]

This one will fit yours, the number of mounts are still the same and the bolt lengths are also the same

 

[JoshC]

Sweet, well I'll take it when ever you get yours in. Just keep me informed. How do you like your Bridgestones off road?

Happy trailes!

 

[Yomie]

I'm kinda kickin' myself for getting the bridgestones, i got them about 2 months ago, when i only had the TT/Shackle, i knew i was going bigger but needed new tires quick so i get these 31's, i am about to go to 33's but as far as the bridgestones, they are not that bad, i have had better tires. Actually the Firestone Wilderness AT 3's that we had were better than these. but these are just temps. i am looking into a set of BFG KM's or TSL Radials for my 33's

Yomie,
Are you sure 33's will fit with just that much lift? I'm running 32's with the same lift (actually I have YOUR shackles on mine, since I bought them from you LOL) and my 32's rub a bit yet, even with some fender trimming.
You might want to test fit a pair up front and see if they rub before you buy.
She's looking good though!

Hey rickcar! whats up. yeah i remember selling you my first set of shackles, but i got a new set, i am gonna be getting the 33's and getting a 3" BL, and getting rid of the 2" BL, i am gonna test fit the 33's first, if they don't fit then i will be going with the 32'. i'll have to see, theres so much i wanna do to it, my minds thinking faster than my wallet LOL, later man

i am thjiknking of installing a 2" BL. what was the ahrdest thing? where did u get your BL? how much was it? did u do it yourself? what other extra parts did u have to get..like extension on drive shaft or brake lines? how long did it took u to install it? thanks for your help

 

[Yomie]

Nope no 33's yet, i gotta put the truck in the shop, Ball joints, wheel bearings, and both pinion seals decided to let go at the same time. i don't believe it had anything to do with the lift, i just hit 65K miles so it was time to replace them anyways. the hardest thing about the lift was getting the core supports loose (the two up front) and the BL was from a 91-94 explorer. i had to get a shifter extention (i have a 5-speed, auto's dont need this) and i used the 3" front bumper brackets from a 98 ranger (you can prolly make these alot easier) and i think thats about it. It only took like 5 hours to do the body lift myself, not including doing the bumpers
