- 2004 Explorer EB 4x4 V8
If I lift my Ex, will it significantly reduce the amount of weight that I can safely tow?
DETAILS:
I have an '04 EB 4WD V8 that I use to tow a 22' travel trailer with a WD hitch. I tow a lot and occasionally go off-road, where I could use more clearance.
I plan to do the 3" suspension lift (2.25"/1.75" BTF spacers & extended UCAs) and run stock wheels for now (just bought new 245/65R17 AT).
Maybe 2" wheel spacers for looks? That would have to reduce capitacity though, right?
I would love to run 285s under a 3" body lift some day but probably can't because of the spare tire storage situation. I guess 265s would be my max?
Thx! B
