Id like to keep my stock 17 inch rims if possible, what would be a good tire size with a 2inch spacer and torsion twist like yours?

On a 17, the eqivalent to a 285/75 16 would be about a 285/70 17. Not sure if they make that size or not. But you are looking at 32.7 inch tire right there, as opposed to 32.8 in the 16. Very close. My 265/75 16 are 31.6 inches. You can play around with tire sizes here. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html. It's pretty neat tool that will give you comparisons on tire sizes, and how much your speedo will be out etc. When I put my 17's on my Intrepid it helped alot with fitment. ( 225/60/17 not that it matters lol)

Oh yeah Eddiebauerexpy. When you do the lift and get the tires, it is you DUTY to post some pics!!! Before and afters are awesome, plus they give everyone else ideas on what to do to their Expy's!!

not bad then. i like the clean look but i need more. greed is an addiction- or is it just financial planning to go BIG the first time? i would like to do a 6" overall combo between suspension, body and tire radius but due to past experiences with sqeaking body blocks on full size broncos im a little weary. it wasnt bad but more of a pain to have people look at you while going over a speedbump and think your monster is a an off-road lemon when it sounds like it cant take a 5" bump. have you had any problems with them on the explorer?

I have had a 3 inch body lift on my 98 Expy for over a year now and NO squeaks at all!

Pics? Please? Do you also have the TT and spacer lift to go along with it? Or just the BL. I want to add another 3 inches to mine too. Also can you see the frame of the truck pretty bad or is it hidden under the running boards and such. Cuz when I did the BL on my Explorer I was stupid and took off the factory running boards and all you see is FRAME!!
