How To Help Keep A 2017 Ford Explorer From Sagging and Wheels Rubbing While Loaded

Question

Question:

Hope you guys can help. I upgraded my wheels to a 24” wheel with 35 series tires. For the most part it doesn’t rub only when I have a load it rubs. Is there something for my model I can install to stabilize it and avoid rubbing when loaded?

The Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs part # AL60821 are a fit for a 2017 Ford Explorer and will help with your rubbing issue. The air bags install inside the coil springs and when inflated will stop the springs from compressing as much therefore you won't sag as much therefore your tires won't rub. The best part of all is that the air bags are adjustable so you can simply let the air out while a load is not present so it doesn't affect the unloaded ride quality.

The Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs are the only system of its kind that will work for you as most other types of suspension enhancements only engage after the threshold is reach which could be past the point of rubbing for your vehicle.
