The MAXIMUM safiest tire size with the stock '91s front axle?

[Shurup]

What is the maximum safiest tire size I can run with my stock front axle (91 explorer) without killing my balljoints, bearings, bla, bla, bla...

 

[Shurup]

what I mean I want to have the maximum tires possible and I don't want to do and SAS.

Trimming, lifting, etc. are the other questions, so please don't discuus them here. thanks

Aha the 8 lugnut Explorer.. Where did you get those caps? I like them.

 

[njsjfonline]

like them

They came off an Explorer I think it was A 93.


AS for the ball joints I've only had to do one set.
in 170K. It was done when i hit 100K, so i'm guessing i still have a little more life in them.
AS for the front wheel bearings I change them every brake job. For the extra 30 bucks I think it's cheap ins.
HOpe this helps

those caps only came on 91 explorers. he asked the safest tire size, any tire size larger then stock will not be as safe as stock. Also most tire retailers will not install tires larger then stock on an explorer.

I want those caps!! Could I order them from ford?

 

[njsjfonline]

i've seen

them on about 12 or so explorers around here.
I bet you can get them from ford. But you will get sticker shock
