you need t omodify a lift kit for the 98+ style explorer..... basically, instead of bolting it on, you have to drill out the rivits holding your torsion bar mounts....

There is a superlift available for your year, you dont have to modify one. 4wheelparts.com has them.

I have a 97 XLT 4 door and I'm 15. I am just trying to get it ready and I wanted to know the quickest and easiest way to get 33" tires. I had heard about the Superlift 4 lift but can I get 33" tire with that?

Go to the Suspension Section and then go to Superlift.

Get a Performance Accessories #853 3" body lift for the Ranger and make your own bumper brackets from the CAD drawings that can be found on this site. That and a combination of Shackles/Torsion bar twist will let you run 33s.
