Thank you for pointing that out bcburlette. Your black explorer looks really good man, I wish mine was black! haha
Ya, in the last day or so, Im really leaning towards add-a-leaf instead of SOA. Sounds like its only $60 more or so.
So the plan right now is to do 3" Spindles, 3" TT (maybe I can get 4" out of a TT?), and Add-a-leaf in the rear. So I guess if I do AAL, I need to go with new shackles as well? (4) new shocks and then 33"s (295/65/16 BFG all-terrains on my stock 16" teardrop rims).
This brings up a few more questions:
- You mentioned that you are waiting to re-gear for 33"s? Is this necessary? One of the reasons I opted out of 35"s for 33"s is so I wouldn't have to regear it.
- I guess replacing the shocks for the type of lift I want to do isn't really necessary, but since I am planning on new shocks anyways, could you guys please recommend me a good set? Should I get a specific type of shock since I am lifting it, or does it not matter?
So, with everything (with tires, shocks as well), Im shooting to stay under $1500. Hopefully that's realistic
