newly lifted X!!!

[stock4now]

Mmk so I just wanted to beef up the explorer, I wasn't in the position to spend any money either lol All I have on there now is the drop down shackles from Autozone, I welded a brace in the middle of them so there pretty strong now. TT up front, need to do it a lil more to level it out some. And the wheels and tires, I traded some guy strait up for my factory wheels and tires lol There 31x10.50x15 BFG A/T's on Black Rockcrawler Wheels. The only way I was able to run 15' rims was to use a 5/16 in wheel spacer. So what do yall think??

looks sweet man. ever thought about painting the bumpers and trim a darker color?

 

[best X]

sick!

Ive got the same truck and I've thought long and hard about painting the trim black. Maybe one day when it gets black wheels. Looks good though

Truck looks nice, your house looks pretty pimp too. Keep an eye on your lug nuts if those are factory, sometimes you have an issue with the factory style lug nuts on aftermarket wheels and they can loosen up faster.

Haha well the house thats in the pic is my girlfriends, yep shes ####in loaded!

Yea I'll have to get some new lugs, and a couple of studs cause there either broke or striped lol I'm pretty happy with the outcome. And yea I'm going to paint the trim around the truck black. But I heard that since its plastic the paint wont stick very well. I tried painting some plastics on my old ranger and I would have to touch it up every other week lol But the next serious project is my homemade roof rack

Looks good. You may want to get an alignment if you didn't already. The TT will change it.

There is also spray paint for plastic (I think it's Krylon Fusion), so look for that.

Yea I work at Xtreme 4x4 automotive so the aligment isn't a problem. I'll keep an eye out of that type of paint.

I have a question, if I buy this kit...http://www.fatbobsgarage.com/cart/p...Adjustable_Leveling_Kit_1998_2007-223-22.html ...then since I have the TT will it lift it 3 more inches??

 

[Gator Jeff]

Love the front plate! Is that real diamond plate? Man, I hate our stupid front license plate requirements!

If you're 4x4, those won't do you any good. You don't want to go more than 2" for CV angle. If you're 4x2, then they'll work and your truck will ride like ****.

 

[stock4now]

haha, na bro its not diamond plate. I picked that bad boy up at a flea market for $5 lol

What kind of "****y ride" are you talking about?? Like whats the major problem if I would install those?? Thanks.
