Tires and lift questions for 2003 4x4 EB Explorer

[Thantos]

Hey all,
Another newbie here with a ton of questions.
1. What are the largest tires I can put on with no lift?
2. What size lift is required to be able to get 33" tires on?
3. What types of diff's were offered with this model (lockers, posi, limited slip) and how do I identify what I have?
4. I am looking into a lift kit. But an not having a lot of luck, anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

i feel that most of the people here in the forum have older explorers.
most questions about tires and lifts for 2002 plus explorers which i have also....
usually the first response is sell it and get a older one or they are junk compared to the older ones..

but f in fact htey were junk then i am sure ford wouldn;t have switched.
I love mine and the indepedant sus[pension is so amazing,
and i love the looks compared to the 1995 that i still own and selling

the ride is like driving in a caddy and I love the 3rd seat one reason that i bought the explorer.
also nothing like knowing the thing is going to start every morning also.
I hate owning older vehicles and having to depend on them,
actually if i was in my house already i think i would keep my 95 explorer adn play withit but i can not keep it where i am living.
