Great looking rig. Were you able to put 35s with just a 4 in lift no other modifications? My son and I have a 1992 and are planning to do a 4in RC lift and trying to figure out what wheels and tires we can fit on it. Any help would be much appreciated. ThanksSearch around. There are a ton of pics of just about every mix of lift and tire size.
Here are mine, though.

I really like your old ride. Can I ask you how you added the recovery points on the front? I would like to do something similar to my 1992. Thanksmy old explorer. 4in and 33's.

iirc i remember them being frame mounted on a different 1st gen before. there should be a hole kn the rail afaik and you add one more to bolt them on.I really like your old ride. Can I ask you how you added the recovery points on the front? I would like to do something similar to my 1992. Thanks
^^very knowledgable fellaI had 32's with a 4" lift and they rubbed. You will probably need a 5.5" lift for 35's and then still need to trim the back edge of the front fenders, and possibly knock the front edge of the rear fender wells forward a little. I had to trim the front fenders back to the first bolt in the bottom.
There are numerous posts and threads about what tires fit what generation Explorer with which lift, and how much trimming is required. Please use the search function, it works very well.
