do I need to lift my Expo?

[chadinfla]

I have currently on my 1997 Expo 4x4 some 305/50/20s and just bought some 37x13.5x20s and it looks like a tight fit. Has anyone run these size tires on stock height?

37's seems like a tight fit. It will also depend on the offset of your rims too.

your not gonna fit a 37 with out some serious trimming or about 8" of lift

Walnuts is running 37's with 11" of lift and mudryder is running 38's

Yeah I dont even think trimming is gonna help

you probley could! but you would need new fenders, most likely fiberglass prerunner fenders and some rear fiber glass fenders too. but then you could do it.

You need a minimum of 4in. of lift to fit 37s. Here is the link to the guy that i know has done it. He is an expedition/ford truck guru!

just look through his photo albums and you will see everything that has to be done to get them to fit.

Thermo!!!!!!! I miss that site. It got all weird when they "made it better" so I quit going to it. Luckily that's when I found the old site, and then the new site. Someone should get Thermo over here. I know he was thinking of selling a while back. Wonder if he still has his Ex.

Looks like he's still very active over there. Man that site is hard to navigate.
