          NEW & UPDATED 5-29-2009 Instead of the 3" body lift I now have a 1" body lift. I also picked up a Mountaineer grille.

The good about this set up- The tires fill the wheel wells which I like, I can stuff my tires up in the wheel well again, It more stable, my steering is more responsive without the extension in, and no UGLY gaps.

The bad- front tires hit the plastic wheel well liner while back up which will be fixed by my friend sawzall in a couple days, it lowered my approach angle and de-proach angle a tad but not
really because of the shackles hanging way low.

Nice ride you have.. As u said, u just updated and now your explorer has 1' body lift sitting on 33's? Does it fit in without any rubbing, because I don't notice any bender cutting?
