Hi, all. I have a project Expedition going and could use a little advice. I am the original owner of this 2000 Ford Expedition 4x4 XLT/Sport. I want to make it look a little more aggressive. I have tuned up the mechanical, will add rims/tires, and paint last. This is my first time doing a project like this.
Black rims with 33" BFGs are going on next week. I tested the rims/tires and there is a minor rub at the front bumper (video). So I have two questions for you.
Question #1: Cut the bumper ($50 at auto body shop next door) or spend the money on a lift/level of some sort?
Question #2: Do I have enough room on the back/inside of the front? The tire does no touch, and there is about 1/4"-1/2" clearance.
Question #3: Will this modification cause mechanical issues (someone suggested this will cause gearing issues)
I don't use this SUV for sport or going off road. It is 99% on a paved street or freeway.
Thanks in advance!
