How much lift do those spacers provide? I hadn't heard of 97 F-150 spacers being used on the TTB Explorers. I always heard that you need early ninties spacers from an F-150 to get about 1 1/4" of lift. Is it basically the same thing?

rod, i believe so... but i never heard of them using the earllier seats just the 97s

alignment ?

How does the spacers affect your alignment after you put them in ?

You will need a alignment for sure , I had no problem getting mine to come in to alignment but the camber bushings were close to maxed out.

Does anyone have pics of these spacers allready in ?Also , you guys are doing this only on EX that are 94'and older right ? I'm trying to get a little more lift under me with out putting a whole new lift kit in . A 2 inch body lift is next , I want to get 33"s under it ( hopefully with out trimming ). I'm figureing with coil spacers in the front and warrior shackles in the back , and a 2" body lift , that should do the trick . If I'm wrong , would someone let me know before it's too late ?

MeatWagon - you'd probably need to trim it to clear 33's. If you went with a 3" body lift, you might be able to get away without, or at least without major trimming. But I've heard that you get steering issues with a 3" body lift.

33's

I already have a 2.5 suspension lift and I'm running 31's with very little to no rubbing . I'm figuring if I get another 1 - 11/4 inches in the suspension and 2 inches under the body that should allow enough room for 33's . I tryed to look at the link , but the pics didn't open . I have a buddy that has a 4 inch suspension lift and swamper 33's . the only time they rub is when he turns real sharp . I just not ready to take the saw to my fenders yet . The bank is still my partner on the truck and my wife is still getting use to the first round of mods . I haven't told her I want bigger tires yet . Wish me luck !
