Ok, brand new here guys, creeped around a bit but first time posting.
I have an 03 Ford Explorer with the V8. Bought it about a year ago, and I love it its great. over 100K miles and hasnt given me a problem.
Ive made it hrough some heavy snow and a little bit of off roading in fields.
I really do want to go on an "expedition" but I dont know of any place near enough that I could afford going to for the weekend.
Also I need to improve its off road abilities. I CANNOT FIND ANY SORT OF LIFT.
Im only looking for a few inches, 2 or 3. Followed by some 31" tires. What can I do? There has got to be something out there.
Ive been wanting to do it since I got it but I just got some more motivation.
Im down in VA for the weekend and we got hit with snow, about a foot not a big deal for me, so we went out in my dads F150, ended up having road blockages from stranded cars, and there are irrigation ditches on the sides of roads, we ended having to double back and go through a snow filled field. We made it, dont know how, but I dont think my explorer would have, so I need to improve it.
So first off, how can I lift it? And second what else should I do to improve off road ability. Keep in mind it is still a daily driver so nothing crazy. I havent seen any 02+ Explorers on this site.
