Hodges Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I just traded my clapped out 01 Dodge Neon that I only had $500 in for a fully loaded 1998 Eddie Bauer Edition 5.0 4X4 Ford Explorer.. I want to lift it and put 36x12.5's on it and I was wondering if a 3-4 lift would be enough? Also if you have any Ford Explorer I want to see you system setup!! Any Explorer owners in here or what?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks you would need !least a 8" lift to smash on some 36's... do a straight axel swap FTW you will be way happy in long run.

I agree with that but i will say that alot of farmers put bigger tires on there trucks for other reasons like going thru muddy fields in july to bring diesel to tractors i second that idea of putting on like a 3 or 4 inch lift and some aggressive 33s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anti.commander Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 www.explorerforum.com All you need to know about lifting/lowering and other mods. To get some 36 on that your going to have to get the superlift 4" with at least a 2" BL and an AAL and twist the torsion bolts and then go for some extreme fender trimming.
