Hello!! New to the board with a few Q's...

[awdriscol4]

Hello....this forum looks great!! I have a quick suspension question I hope someone can help me out with.

I have a 98 Explorer XLT AWD and am looking to lift it. The goal is to fit 33x12.50's with a 15x8 rim.

What is 1) my best way of doing this?, and 2) what is my cheapest way to do this?

We dont do any hardcore off-roading, just the normal mud and dirt occassionally. Would I be able to fit the 33's under a 4-inch body lift? (sorry if the questions are stupid, I've been a pavement pounder my whole life, lol)

Thanks,

Alfred

4" suspension lift with front TT and rear SOA should be enough for 33's...

good luck! and welcome to the board!

PLEASE do not do a 4 inch body lift. that is just.... not safe. i have a 2 inch body and extended shackles and an add-a-leaf in the rear and up front i just cranked the t-bars. total cost = under 200 bucks. total lift = 4 inches. i run 33x12.50's on 15x8 rims. the 4 inch suspension lift will run you nearly 1800 bucks.
