All you need is:

3" Body Lift
1.5" Shackle Lift (warrior)
1.5" Torsion Lift
=4.5" Lift

Then you will need to trim some metal off the inner fender of the explorer and may need to trim the rear to.

Purchase some Perry's Fiberflass Fenders and put them on in place of your metal ones and you will be set.
 






welcome to the site....

Youd need either the RCD 5.5" lift and like a 1 to 2" body lift....

or superlift 4" and a 3" body lift.

either situation youd have to remove the plastic trim i think at the bottom of the wheel well.... I think the problem is the width of the wheel well or whatever.

ask Jefe he has BFG 35"s ;)

oh and get 4.56 or 4.88 gears.....
 






I have been reading about the RCD lift and I am under the understanding that it has not been developed yet.


I have been keeping track of the RCD thread and it seems to be a good kit if you can afford but know one knows when it will be produced. Kinda seems iffy at the momment.

What about the Super lift kit, any comments on that ?
 






Sorry I forgot to ask this in my last reply

Where can I find more info on Perrys Fiberglass fenders ?
 












What about Superlifts explorer lift any word on how well it works ? The reason I want 35's is because I am used to doing alot of trail riding in my previous vehicle in The rubicon and moab a few times and would like to get my explorer ready to go back.
