I did it. some doubted, but it can be done. with only three inches of body lift shackles and a mild tt, one can fit 35's into the wheel wells with minimal trimming. i got em mounted and balanced at town fair and they rubbed a little and they thought i was crazy when i asked for a grinder to cut the fenders. i did it right there in the shop. i think it looks awesome. i will get pictures up asap probably later today.

thats just some random guys truck too. i pulled into his driveway because he had a stock 95 lol
 






i took it out on the trail withmy freinds. it handled the trail better than my freinds old K5. these tires just dig into the trail like no other. i dont care what any one says they were fine in the mud too.
 






I didnt think it was possible, i thought with 3" BL, shackles and a TT you would have to trim to fit 33's.
 






I know the 95+ Explorers are different than the 91-94s but, you can run 33s stock on a 91-94 (or at least on my 91) with nothing. Seeing this, Im sure I can fit 35s on my Explorer with its 3" body lift and 2.5" suspension lift... If not, 34s will have to do.. Im not to sure about the tires themselves, but I can get 4 new (bought then the guy sold his truck and asked me if I wanted his tires) 34x10.5x15 Super Swamper LTBs for $400. Right now its got some dinky winter tires (When I bought the truck, the guy gave me the tires.. They were brand new as well, figured I'd use them in the winter instead of the bald ones that were on it..) but before I lifted it at all, I had my brother in laws 33x9.50x15s BFG Muds with no rubbing.

Oh, your truck looks nice btw :D Real pics please!
