I just finished putting on the rough country leveling coil springs and I'm ordering the warrior shackles tomorrow, this should give me about 2" of total lift. I'm wondering, what are the largest size tires any of you guys have fit on your explorers with this kind of lift. I'm getting new tires as soon as I get the shackles in cause the old firestones have 3" bubbles sticking out of two of them. I'm afraid to even move the truck into my driveway to install the shackles. Anyways, any advice as to what size tires will fit will be greatly appreciated. I want 32/11.50's but I'll settle for some 31's if I have to.

Brandon1993Sport- 31's will surely fit in there. I think MANIAK was the one with 2.5 lift and 32x11.50's.

The 31's should fit. If they hit anywhere it will be on your front bumper (easily fixed by making your own or just cutting the corner off). The 32's won't fit with a 2" lift. The 2.5" lift with the custom bumper clear 32's in the front (I made a custom rock bumper to solve this) but when the wheel is turned left or right and I compress the suspension I can get it to hit the plastic inside the fender well. This is more due to width than height. If there was a 32x10.5 I don't think we would be having the rubbing but the 32x11.5 puts the edge of the tire close to the fender.
