I'm in the middle of a frame off and am about to start on my axles and suspension for the rolling chassis. My original rig had an older 2-2.5" lift (I think). I have 33x10.5x15's and cut fenders. At the time - I liked the lifted look but now I'm reconsidering since I'm not building a trail rig. I would say it will be 90% street with the occasional off road adventure.
WH had a video showing 33's on a stock height with cut fenders and I liked the stance.
I really want more of a Big Oly stance (squatty with big tires) but I know it's not really possible considering Oly was a custom one-off. I'd like to get close though which is why I'm now considering a stock height suspension with my existing tires.
Here is a rough photoshop of Big Oly with the standard body dimensions of an EB and I tried to show it at stock height. To the right is a photoshop I did of an EB with a 2.5" lift using a a color scheme I made up for comparison. I like the slight forward rake of Big Oly too.
I have a Wild Horses System 3 Stock height (Bilstein 5100's) in my cart right now...should I pull the trigger? Will I have regrets? BTW, I will not be using the steel hardtop, will not have a full sized spare tire in the back and no family cage. Just a 23 gal fuel tank and sport cage like the example at the bottom. Since I'm doing an Explorer swap, I'll be adding a 1" BL.
