How do you roll?

Just curiuos about other Explorer, Sport Trac & Mountaineer owners.

I'll start it off.

I roll lifted. I have lifted my 97 Mounty about 2"with a torsion twist and shackles and I'm running 31x10.5x15 Dayton Timberline AT II's

I'm lowered on mine. I wouldn't mind building another one that is lifted to take down to Moab and other places, but I've got more projects going than I have time for now. I don't have time to build another one now, much less the time to use it...

Jon is going to lift his. His son Bryan just bought a 98 Mountaineer (Two Tone red)off ebay last week from a seller in New york.

It will be November before it gets to Jon's.

I ride stock in my 96 4.0 xlt explorer. I am thinking about lifting it, but I am kinda happy the way it is. And as far as lowering it I am not a fan of lowered trucks, some look cool but when I am in a truck I want to feel like I can run over anything! Besides if I want to run low I can always hop in my 944, it feels like a gocart it sits so low.
