Finally got got my 31s (pictures)

[Arthur]

Thanks to the people on this forum and their knowledge I finally got my wheels and tires and suspension where I wanted it. Many of you probably read this post http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172176&page=2
Well from your feedback, I reduced the explorer body roll a lot by putting in Bilstein shocks and the entire Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex bushing kit.

Next I put on f150 coil spacers

And finally... Last night I bolted on my new Rock Crusher wheels with 31x10.50 BF Goodrich All-Terrains

Before And After

looks good

 

[splferrell]

nice r u thinking of lifting it

 

[Arthur]

I might do warrior shackles and skyjacker springs eventually, but for now I am pretty happy.

 

[Darrman]

Looks good!
I also recently got my 31's, I was planning on the BFG A/T's also, but after finding that all the local chain tire places will not install a larger than stock tire, I went with what was available elsewhere, these are Kumho A/Ts

 

[Arthur]

yeah i was thinking about going Kumho Mud Terrains... they have a new tire that is supposed to be the most street friendly mud terrain out there

 

[pughman]

looks good, but i would think about a 2in. bl or something, looks a tad stuff'd

there's nothing wrong with stuffed... but eventually I'll do warrior shackles with skyjacker springs... but exhaust and body work are on my list before that

 

[chriswells78]

You need some lift.

 

[buckshotmudder]

looks good and yeah those 31s look stuffed

Will 31's fit without hitting even on turns and hitting bumps?
My Neice is looking to go bigger but she wants to keep the height stock

the 31s fit fine for me but I put on some coil spacers in the front... it only costs about 40 bucks to do this...

 

[Arthur]

does anyone know if i can fit 2inch skyjacker springs and the f150 spacers without the ibeam drop brackets?

 

[FROADER]

Every truck is different, but most trucks can't be aligned with more than 2" without drop brackets.

Did you get an alignment after you put the spacers in?

Looks purty good. I opted for the 30's on my 2nd gen and they only rub on the sway bars and full lock to lock. They're 11.50's also.

yeah i put the spacers on and the tires and went straight to the alignment shop... i had a lifetime alignment there so it didn't cost me anything
