1999 Ford explorer 4x4
Got this truck about a year ago and never did anything to it so the transmission gave out and so the itch to upgrade started got transmission installed a week ago and took it to add some 31x10.5 wrangler Authority a/t. Reallymy question is if I do TT and warrior shackles will the tires look too small if there are some pictures out there of the setup I'm looking for post them up thanks guys...

Its a little dirty had just gotten back from fishing and some mud tried to stop me from getting home lol.
 






There is a post some where on the forum of modified 2nd gens with pictures. Most people also post what they did to their trucks so you can find one you like and copy their set up. As far as 31's and TT/Shackles that's a pretty common. The nice thing about TT is that its adjustable so you can drop or raise till it looks right to you. If you make your own shackles as opposed to buying WAR you make those adjustable as well.
 






The 31s will look great with a TT/Shackles.

235s look slightly small with the lift, but still not too bad.
 






Hey guys so I got some 4.10 that I can afford to buy and have them installed just wanted to know if it would help with the power I'm lacking since I added the 31s and in a couple of months adding 32s after the bodylift and trying and shackles.... oh and why does everyone say a 3 inch body lift is not a good idea??
 






The 3 inch body lift requires some wiring, brake line, and steering shift modification, if I remember correctly.
 






Oh OK ill have to look into all that but if that's the only problem with the bodylift it will happen
Lol.... I was thinking there was major problems like the body having too much stress or something I'm going in on this blind folded and might just order the kit tonight
 






I have the 3" BL and haven't had a problem. Just remember to go back and tighten everything after a few hundred miles
