I had three wagoners when I was a teen (30 yrs ago) and I lowered mine but with 15s all around (largest they had back then).
I was fascinated with them and I still consider them one of my favorites.

Well...
OK, so it probably isn't "Pro-Touring" in that sense of it. But it will be my daily driver, and it will get used to go touring--touring the country that is. It will be our long distance travel vehicle too.
And while it won't get lowered, it won't get jacked to the sky either. The most lift it will ever see is a 2" spring kit, which puts it back where earlier Wagoneers sat. When done it will have 16" wheels with 31" tires (either Yokohama Geolander A/T-S, or Michelin LTX A/T 2), so nothing crazy there either.
Due to lack of funds (And a mere doubling of the budget amount spent) the interior and bodywork will be left for next year. I have a set of Thunderbird Turbo Coupe seats that will be recovered and adapted to fit the Wagoneer's tracks. New carpet of course, and a new headliner too. Outside it will get Cherokee W/T flares, and a nice coat of white. The wood-grain will be removed, though I may go with an older pattern that follows the upper, slanted body lines.
