So you are running 7" total lift in front and 9" in the back? How do them 35s fit up front, did you trim at all, and can you turn the wheels all the way?
How tough was your rear spring over, did you post step-by-step somewhere?
I should edit and update everything. I have a 1.5-1.75" f150 spacer in the front as well giving it over 8.5" and yup I still rub the 35's on the radius arms and I took the hammer and grinder to the rear of the front fenders about 2-3 inches. As for the SOA I have a write up on Explorer projects and it is even listed in useful threads!!!!
Bringing my truck up to speed, I have added a locker to the rear as well as the 6" skyjacker coils to the front. So again I am just posting to say I have dumped a pissload more money into this including another tranny rebuild. As well I bought a 95 black 4dr 4x4 Yukon that has 65K on the ticker and is in sweet shape. Now I happily own a daily driver that I am not embarassed to be seen in and it also pulls the Explorer. Lastly here is my favorite pic from my Colorado trip I took in July
Finally, someone other than Myself and my neighbor Alphasylum from Wisconsin have nice Explorers on display for people to view. DannyBoy you limited is a great looking truck and I just wish mine was a limited. My next Explorer will def. be a Limited 98 or 99 or 2000 the newer ones suck they look so ugly.
