Any more pics??
Sorry about your body lift,
I woulnd't want to be in your possition...:frustrate Anyway, I have a 99 sport with 2" body lift and TT, I want to get my 33's maybe for Xmast,
so, do you have any more pics of your X with those 33's and the body lift on?? maybe a flex shot, or offroading pics, I would really want to take a look of that,
some people around here says that 33's wouldn't fit a 2" body lifted explorer with TT and shakles:fire: , I just want to be sure..!!
Thanks in advance...

Hey Codewiz, i got the Body lift on last weekend, everything went smooth! i got the rear bumper up like you told me and it is perfect! i see what you meant about bending and twisting the front bumper brackets. and on the steering shaft, my boot didn't have a clam on there to begin with it has been opened up, i guess since i have had the truck, oh well, but yeah i have Codewiz's BL now and i have my 31's on there and it looks like 33's would be able to fit on there. I should have pics soon with the 2"bl on, and Codewiz i have a pic request also, if you get a chance could you take a pic of how much the tire bulges on the 7" wide rim?
thanks
thanks

Cool, glad to hear it went on OK. In the pics at the top of this post, those are the 33s. They bulge a little, but I think it looks good. Only problem is rubbing on the sway bar - those big lugs that stick out of the M/Ts. A street tread might not be so bad.

Mileage hasn't changed much. At first, I noticed a power drain big-time, but I dont really notice it anymore. Not that it isn't there, but it didn't lose so much as to effect it too badly. The 5.0 has a good deal of power - enough to handle the 33s.

No, I don't have any more pics of 33s w/ 2" BL because i took the BL off. I only have TT/Shackles. There is more then enough room (on my truck) for 33s w/ a 2"BL, TT, and shackles.
