More Questions...

[BigK]

Where would I find this (or a similar) brush guard? I'm new to having a truck-like vehicle, so I don't have the slightest idea of where to get stuff for 'em.

Also, I don't know what model my Sport-Trac is. Sad, huh? Is there a way to find out via the VIN number or something? The original ad that I saw my truck in listed it as a Adrenalin, but how can I be sure? There is no label on the back, so I don't know.

And what are some recommended lifts? At some point I would like to raise the Trac a bit, but nothing crazy. Is doing a 2''-4'' lift even worth it?

Going along with the last question, if I put 32'' tires on with the stock lift, will I encounter any rubbing issues? And I won't dampen my turning ability either, right?


Thanks in advance for the help.

If it doesn't have an Adrenalin badge on the tailgate, it probably isn't an Adrenalin. Go to the link below and enter your VIN and can get a build sheet for your Sport Trac. Might help to see what your ST was built with.

That is a Westin Bull bar. And a small lift of 2" is done by doing the torsion bar lift up front and shackles in the rear. Tire rubbing depends on the wheels you go with, different backspacing changes how much, if any rubbing will occur.

It's A westin safari bar it's 2inch pipe instead of the 3inch bars on the bullbar

Thanks for the help, guys. Anyway, I hate to sound like a retard, but what is backspacing and/or what does it do? Again, I hate to ask that because I have worked with and around cars all of my life... yet I have no clue about backspacing.

You won't fit 32s stock. I have 31s and they rub half the time when I'm turning. The 32's will rub like crazy on the front. You'll need to do a full torsion twist and shackles to fit them.
