ive been debating it for a while now..

i'm currently planning to attempt a 4wd conversion ..

but if that falls through rims and tint will be my next upgrade ..

How does the truck ride since the lift and tires? Would you take it on a long trip?

Mine is lifted 3" on 32" tires and on the interstate the ride is still smooth. but above 80-85-ish it gets kinda floaty. Where as before the lift and tires it was solid all the way to my speed limiter of 108.

That truck looks good. I actually think that the chrome bullbar (and chrome nerf bars ) tie the chrome on black wheels, soon to be (hopefully) black trim and white rig together. But then again, that is just my opinion...

You said 2.5/1.5 Coil Spring Lift...was that CSS (Coil Spring Specialties)? How far off level was it before your spring upgrade? I would eventually like to put something like 2.5/2.0 or 3.0/2.5 on mine just to get it up in the air some more...Darn road sticks out sometimes and I want to get through.

With those tires/wheels, how far do your tires stick out? I see a bit, but with that angled shot, it is hard to tell.

Dude, looks sweet.

No these springs were from coil springs.com. I'm not sure how far off level it was before the lift, but its still about an inch lower in the front. If I were you I would order some spacers from RoadBully, as they give you the advertised amount of lift.

i actually live north of atlanta in the Dacula/Buford area. i dont take my explorer off road cuz my parents would kill me but my buddy has a lifted sierra that we take mudding and climbing all the time maybe we should meet up you know of any parks or trails?
