looks good, what are you going to do for the rear?

i like the color of your truck BTW
 












looks like you'd be able to do a SOA and be pretty close to even with the front
 


















dude that looks tight man! :eek: :thumbsup:

what spindles did you use?

do you have a body lift? or TT?

cause im eventually get some as well...

OH and what size are those tires?
 






looks good. i just noticed we have lights in the same place on our trucks except i just drilled mine into my bumper and it looks like you have brackets.

also since you have shackles with multiple mounting points. it looks to me that you'd still be able do a SOA and put the shackles on a lower setting to even it out. plus you could still leave the AALs in for extra support and stiffer ride in the rear.

it looks like you could fit some 35's but you'd probably have to trim your fenders a little. and you'd diffidently want to re-gear with 35's

Fabtech 3'' spindles, add-a-leaf, and shocks. New upper control arms, lower ball joints, and inner tie rods from napa.

I have a 3'' body lift.

I have the pep boys lift shackles and the torsion bar lift.

33's, getting an alignment today, as it needs one bad and before my tires get torn up. I would really love to re gear it.
 






Love the flat paint. Looks great!
 






I second the OD Green/Black. I've had plans for mine for a while of two tone flat tan/gloss (or flat) black. Maybe tomorrow I'll go snap some shots of the parts i'm getting ready to install on my expie...
 






Did you have to get the Edge spindles b/c you are working with the torsion bar setup?
 






Hey man,

How is the ride quality with your setup on roads?

I have same gen. Explorer with a 5.0 and i think your setup looks awesome.

Are those 33x12.50s?
 












The ride quality was good, until the lower control cracked lol

Ya they are 33's

shackles

My x looks similar to yours in height, I have the lift spindle with a custom hoop and 8" fox shocks and a 11 leaf pack from a toyota on the rear but how long are your shackles?
