I have replaced the front spindle hubs twice now. A new set of shocks have been put on it. Two sets of new tires. There is nothing loose that I have ever been able to find. I have however been noticing and suspecting that the front of my truck may be a little bit lower than it used to be. I am now thoroughly convinced it is either because the torsion bars are weak or the tires need to be toed in just a little. I'm going for the torsion bar adjustment first because I can see where the camber is wider at the bottom and is even more apparent when more weight is in the truck.

If you have your manual it will show not to change tire size as it changes the stability of the vehicle

LT is a tire class which designates a light truck tire, which is usually a little more expensive but worth it if you like to do off road adventures.
On a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport : Open the drivers door and you will see an information sticker that shows the original size of tire on the vehicle from the factory ( the sticker is on the latch pillar )
There should be a jack in the compartment behind the back seat.

On a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac it's in the passenger side rear cab compartment behind the access door in the trim panel ( according to the Owner Guide )
To remove the spare tire from a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, first locate the spare tire winch access hole, usually found in the rear cargo area. Use the provided tire iron or a socket wrench to turn the winch handle counterclockwise, which will lower the tire from its storage position under the vehicle. Once the tire is fully lowered, pull it out from the cradle and set it aside. Be sure to secure the winch mechanism after removing the tire to prevent it from getting damaged.
