Nice Explorer, I would definitely go for the Warrior Shackles and T/T. I have a 99 and I am not going to be making a monster, but the shackles and t/t make it ride alot better and a plus is that when you park next to a stock explorer yours will look WAY cooler. Just my opinion.

Thanks SplashMan!!
I do want to do the shackles and T/T, but the problem is that I have the weakest bars that Ford put on the Explorer, so I am concerned about wearing them out, or overstressing them. And if I did crank them up, will I get enough lift out of them to even up with the shackles? I think when it's time for tires, I'll buy 31x10.50s and do the T/T and shackles then. But I agree, it will make it look MUCH better.

This is about what it would look like with the T/T and shackles (about 2 inches higher).

I want to go bigger because some dick over here lifted his almost as high as mine. We live on a small island and I have nothing better to do than to put his truck to shame .I guess you can say its an ego trip.
