Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

Exclamation Lowered the Xpo 3"

This was a challenge. To put the ubolts on the back was a pain...stock ubolts have a shaved top,aftermaker ubolts are rounded all the way..So i used a c-clamp and pressed together. But first you want to take the bottom of the shock from shock plate OFF.Note: Tap the top of the new ubolt with a hammer..another note...cant get a hammer in there!...ne ways..its not that easy..3" in back..and 2" in the front..TBARS SUCK!!...use lock tight after you do it..but here it is if it loads..

There's a place I know about, where the dirt road runs out, and we can try out the 4 wheel drive..come on now, what do you say?
I've got the perfect place in mind, it's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there, you got to get a little mud on the tires.

You know what would look really good on there....aftermarket wheels! Removing the orange reflector in the corners would give it a clean look, too.
