Just installed Super Swampers! I love this look!








Sorry these were takin on a cell phone. They are 39.5x15x16.5 Super Swamper TSL's with 16.5x12 Weld Mountain Crusher wheels. I had to install a dual steering stabilizer to keep the steering under control...it was really freaking out.

I think this is exactly the look I was going for. Every guy I've had come over or seen it that is into trucks suddenly remembers how much they LOVE Excursions and need to go buy one hahaha!

I agree! The larger, aggresive tires really bring out the personality of these trucks.

Some black flares would touch it off nicely! Great look!

Thanks, black flare would look great. That's actually what I want to do next. I also want to coat the rocker panel area in bedliner or flat black. next up also is a rear bumper to match the front!!

Looks awesome! Can you actually turn without rubbing?

I agree. However I haven't found any really aggressive flairs for Excursions, only OE style.

It rubs at the bottom of the fender on the passenger cab portion. Very small part of it though. Going to trim it tomorrow with a plasma cutter. Then it will officially rub nothing! I got the correct offset wheels so it doesn't rub the leafs.

Love to see a muddy pic. Those lugs are begging to be swamped.

I agree. I don't know how the cops are there, but they will cover up the tire too

I think your Ex looks perfect with those swampers. What is the offset on those rims? There is a guy here in town selling the same wheels, If the wheels he has are the same offset i will get them. I would love to copy what you have done.

Looks awesome! I know the police around here would not leave ya alone until you had the flares to cover the tires completely. Speaking from experience

The backspacing is 4.5". BTW I found out last night it does rub the leaf springs a little when turned 100%...but I don't have to turn it that far really ever so I feel thats acceptable.
