Tires and Suspension Question

[vvilliamm]

Sup guys, I recently got an 07 Sport trac 4.0L v6 2wd and looking to get some tires and a BL lift.

Im looking to get some 33x12.50/ Mickey Thompson baja claws or BF goodrich km2? what do u guys think?!

Also looking for a 3'' Body Lift, BUT I was reading on an old post on here that said 06+ models are not able to be lifted?! is this true??

I would take caution throwing larger tires and lifting the V6...you're really gonna affect the power output and gas mileage, but here's the only lift kit thats known for the 07+ ST

They list the lift kit unavailable

They have it listed for $377, they just NA where the describtion should be, I'm sure you can call them with the part # and order it

Exactly what does that kit do? Spacers between coils?

There was a different kit out there. It extended the cup the coils sit in.

Also, if you really wanted the body lift, somebody has modified one from earlier rangers to fit an '07 Explorer (non-Sport Trac). Here's a link - Lifted 2007 Explorer

I think the spacers are a better idea though.
Overall though, there's not much offroad aftermarket. I can't even find shocks from anybody.

Thanks for all the info, very helpful! But do you think with a 2.5'' front and 1.25'' lift would fit some 33's without rubbing or major cutting.

 

[GreenMando]

33's might be too much. I am hoping to squeeze some 31's in mine. The rear fender liners will have to come out.

Most Truxxx users that I know of fit 32"s fine, and that's what most people do, from my experiences. Some have fit 33"s, but like you said, they've rubbed,cut, massaged or some combination, and they usually have negatively offset wheels.

Here's a link to some previous experiences with Truxxx:
