What kind of 4" lift do you have currently?

What do you want to use the truck for?
 






i believe its a tuff country... or thats what his sig says. are u getting bigger tires or jus want more lift. with the 4.10's u have i'd go 33's absolute tops...
 






ya its tuff country and i would be getting bigger tires. i manily just do trail riding with rocks no bigger than 3 or 4 feet and i sometimes end up in mud
 






unless yer going to change gears... which no one seems to be able to get ahold of them anyways right now... a 33" tire would be all u could do. i think if u ever plan on getting in the mud u need a mud terrain. they have alot of good mud terrains that get great mileage (bfg mt) your options are to slap a 2" body lift on and u got yer 6" right there. if u have the money move up to a 6" suspension and soa in the back. or i suppose u could add spacers up front and an add-a-leaf or shackles out back as long as u could get the front aligned after that. that would probably be easier than putting on a body lift. and cheaper than buying a whole new lift...
 






go with the 6" lift with SOA and put 35's on that booger.

then put in a competition cam to make up for the bigger tires. i know they dont have emissions in high point.
 






I think you should do choice #1. Heres what it will look like with 33s

did u have to trim the back any
by the way that looks good but how u have it now is awsome
 






Nope. I didn't have to trim the back for 35s either.

Also, the Ex I have now is not the same one as that picture.

This is my Old Explorer. The pictures without the black fender flares or painted gray is 33s. all the others are 35s.
