Will a Body lift with 32's look dumb?

[UWBadgers27]

I know most people that do a body lift already have the 2" tt and 2" shackle lift but most explorers i see with that combination of lift they all run 33" tires. It just seems like the wheel wells are to filled which doesn't allow enough flex and what not. Thats just how i feel, not trying to tell anyone that they're dumb for running 33's. I know 33's will do better in mud most likely. I just want my explorer to be able to flex more without having that back tire bottom out in the wheel well.

So with a 2" tt and 2" shackle lift with a 3" body lift running 32's look dumb?

If anyone has that set up, pics would b awesome.

i've been all over google trying to see if anyone has that setup but i don't see it anywhere. Especially on my exploder. Mines a 2001 explorer sport.

I reckon it'll look pretty bloody good mate

 

[UWBadgers27]

Thanks dude, I'm hoping for some pics eventually to convince me but your input helps alot

I'll try to post some pics tomorrow of what i'm working with now

I only have 31's with 3 inch B.L and shackles, and I don't think it looks dumb.

It'll look great. There's a lifted 2nd gen picture thread on here. Search through there and I'm sure you'll find some people with that setup.

Silver X and I run the same tire/setup, no body lift w/ 33". So I think tt/shackle & body lift w/ 32" would look a little off. Keep in mind 01-03 sports/ sport trac have a bigger wheel well, so we can fit a bigger tire than a 2nd gen.

Yeah i've seen that explorer before on here and with the lift he has it just seems like must rub in so many places unless he did trimming on it cause i rub sometimes with 32's

 

[sjr033]

I do rub at full lock on the sway bar. But I am on stock wheels with no spacers.

Where are you rubbing at?

 

[UWBadgers27]

i rub on the front bumper inside the wheel well but i don't want to trim that at all because i'm hopefully doing a body lift soon. and i only rub when i'm going a decent speed, i don't rub when i'm moving slow

It will look really nice.
