HAHA Well i knew i would find an explorer on here that looks the way i want mine too...
Curious though... I see shackles and tortion twist.. what else does this person have done? looks more than a body lift.. or am i wrong?
 






i saw that picture browsing around the other night and believe it or not its a 3" BL with a TT. it said in his description what all was done to the Ex.
 






I've got a 92 and I'm just gonna do warrior shackles(already have), 2" spacer up front and a 3"BL with 32's for more flex.:thumbsup:

I don't think he has a BL. You would see more frame with that?:thumbsup::thumbdwn:
 






Well i'll be damned... I just did some searchin and it is warrior shackles, 3' inch body lift and TT. thats it. Looks mean to me
 






What would the stance look like if I did all that and did some add a leafs in the back? TIlted much lol
 






my guess would be that it'd level out a little more or sit just a little bit higher with an added leaf. i plan on doing that after my shackles and TT.
 






More raked to the front. Higher in the rear.

Who's truck is that?
 












not sure whos truck that is, someone else posted its picture in another thread that I cant find again... Its the mystery Ex
 












Tires I am thinking about Are SUper Swamper TrxUs tires.. I dunno that i need to go bigger than 31's... they look beefy like i want them... and damn it all... I am trying to stay cheap but a suspension lift is sounding more and more appealing, 4" suspension with 31's? And shackles, and TT? what you think? and if I do go with the super swampers.. ****e I dont know what size wheel to get, or what size of the 31 inch tire. I was thinking about the eagle ally chrome ones, i think everyone knows what im talkin about. Lemme know! HAHAHA im gettin pumped

4" with just 31's would look like a lifted motorcycle....wierd!:eek:
Check out the Maxxis Bighorns. They are a M/T that is really good offroad and not very loud on road. I'd say a 15"x8" wheel. But you can most likely fit some 33's. Definitely fit 32's with 4" suspension.

Here's a pic of the bighorns.

VS the TSL's( I like the super swamper just not the truxus

Check out this thread. It's about 4" lift and 33''. Pics included!
 






Never mind friends. figured it out... Did what most dont do.. lol used the search box..
SOO

$289.80 - 4 Pro Comp Alloy 99
$698.95 - 4 31/11.50R-15 Super Swamper TrXus STS Radial Tire

These are the first items I have on my list actually solidified... Big question.. I read a tofew threads on re gearing and such.. seems I am still too much of a noob to do it my self, so what would be an efficient re gear for the tire size? I am going to do the 4 inch suspension lift and shackles and TT, so again, any input on this matter will be great. ALSO... Like I said I am sick of seeing rust.. what shall I do to the undercarriage? Can I cover tha Biatch in bed liner??? Thank you everyone
 












Those tires will be fine for a DD. I have the Trxus MT's on my DD and they rock, ride great, quiet, and amazing off road. A little soft and chunk out on rocks and sharp objects but don't seem to be wearing very fast, still 99% tread after 4K miles.

I don't feel it's worth bothering with gears until you go with a 33" tire. You want 4.10 with a 31" and you prolly have 3.73 now so it's close enough. 4.56 for 33's.

If you are going with a 31" tire do not lift higher than 3" total. I'm up 6" after my SAS and my 33" tires look a little small. Honestly I'd just do shackles and TT for 31's, I could clear my 33's like that with minor plastic trimming.

Cool wheels. The tires just don't look like they have much tread to begin with!

I think the pic is just deceptive. I'm guessing 19/32" or so tread depth. It should say on their site.
