Well I don't have any pictures but when I got my B2 all I had was a 3" body lift and some minor trimming of the wheel well's and I was running 36x12.5x15 , So just get a body lift as it's a cheaper way to go . Hope this helps ?

i have a 90 with 2 inch spacers and i clear 31's with ease. i actually ran the 31's with no lift on the stock sagging springs with no rubbing until i hit a major bump. (mine also had the same paint as the one in your avatar)

How much of a lift do the Explorer springs give you? Just curious.

That a very "interesting" question. Some say none and I have read 6". Seems it depends mostly on how worn your existing springs are, how worn the explorer springs are, and the spring code for both...

Is anyone running 31x10.50x15" tires on the stock rims? I am planning to do this with a 2" lift. Let me know if the backspacing is OK or if i need to get different rims.

I have these rims:

The tag on my door states the rims are 15x5.5. I need to check the rims I have to see how wide they are. Maybe previous owner swapped them. I don't want to run 0.5" wide tires on the 5.5" rim.

take all the suspension parts off a first gen explorer shocks springs and leafs and you can run 30s or 31s
