can you give me a run down on what you installed on your suv. im planning on almost the same thing.
 






That looks great! Like the wheels a lot.
 






BTF spacers (2.25 front, 1.75 rear), 3 inch body lift, 16x8 ION Alloy series 174 wheels, 305/70-16 NITTO Terra Grappler tires
 


















Nice truck, ill be up there if I can ever get around to buying gears and master install kits... That's all left though (have 2.25/1.75 btf, moog k8008, brembo pads,etc) it'll be one hell of an install...
 












Nice looking explorer!
 






That looks sexy!
 






Can you take and post a pic from behind? did you do the hitch mod?
 


















damn that looks good brother
 






Lookin good!
 






So that's what my Explorer would look like if I lifted it.......;)

Looks GREAT!!! Now paint the grill/headlights black and get 4th gen tails/mirrors and you'll be set!

Here's what the grill will look like painted black-

Edit: I have other angles if that would help make your decision.
 






I was thinking about painting the grille black but wasnt sure. But now that i see that pic i think thats what ill do. I was also thinking a stainless bull bar and nerf bars. Exhaust is next, it will be unique, cant wait to do it but prob wont be till spring.
Thanks everyone for the great comments!!!!!

If you actually take it off road pass on the bull bar and nerf bars. I smashed my bull bar up many times, it was dented and I bent the brackets up too. They lower your clearance and love to catch on rocks.

Looks good though! I vote paint the grill.
