Looking for side shots of 95+ XLTs with 3" BL and 31" or 32" R15 tires...

If you have a side shot of your 95+ Explorer XLT with the 3" B/L and 31" or 32" R15 tires...

Feel free to just e-mail them to me if you don't want to post...

Thanks... going to 32s next month and I am just wondering what it will look like.

He's already got 33's, his rig is no longer a trail rig, and i assume he is going smaller for mileage/highway driveability, and also to have a lil more power when he pulls his other ford to the trails

BTW did you send thoes brackets?

 

[Yomie]

Oh BTW Splashman, how about 2" BL with Warriors and TT with 31's on stockers (almost the same as a 3" BL alone)
(2 year old pics)

Yup, Yomie is right, I got the 33s, TT and BL right now, I'm going down in tire size and am either going to 31s or 32s. Which ever looks better with the 3" BL. I would like to turn my T-bars back down and put the stock shackles back on, but I don't have my shock shackles anymore, so I have to keep the Warriors and I am afraid that 31s will look goofy with the 3" BL, Warriors and TT...

P.S. Yomie, the brackets will be in the mail tomorrow.

You need stock shacles?

Yeah, I gave mine to 2001ExpSport. I don't want to buy any though. If I can go back to the stock shackles and turn my T-bars back down, it will look even better if I decide on the 31s instead of the 32s.
I was going to sell the old Warriors for like $30 plus shipping, but I couldn't find anyone that had stock shackles laying around (most people tossed them). I need a set of stockers so I can actually swap though since this is my daily driver and I can't wait around for someone to send their shackles back to me...

 

[Yomie]

I have my stock shacles sitting under my bed...cause i'm using the ghetto AutoZone shackles right now, i can send you thoes now, and then the $$$ early feb, and you can send me the shackles when you get the $$ or get them off your truck, how does that sound?

 

[SplashMan]

Sounds good to me. The earliest I will be able to swap them is the weekend of March 22nd though. I'll be at my dad's and that is where all my tools are right now. If you send me your shackles, I'll do the swap in March and send the Warriors to you that Monday. You can then just send me the cash and it will say what shipping was on the box...

I just thought of something... I'm going to be putting on your old 2" BL and now your old stock shackles... man, you got anything else we can swap?

Actually, I have a complete set of crome centercaps off of a Ranger. They are the rounded ones instead of the squared ones like my Explorer... I'll take a picture of them tonight and if your interested, just make me an offer...

This is working out great. This is why I love this site so much.

SplashMan.. check my website. I have a 3" BL with 32's.

Dead Link Removed

 

[SplashMan]

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for... the 32s actually make the Explorer look taller than with 33s. I think it is because of the extra room inside the wheelwells.

Splash, Section also has the TT/War in the above pic... just FYI

Yup, I know. I will only be loosing another inch when I swap shackles and undo the TT. The Explorer will still look raised and not to tall for the tires, which is what I was wooried about.
