I have a 1997 Ford Explorer V8 5.0L 4dr 2wd. I want to put a 3" body lift on it. I have found the lift but for them to install it it costs an extra $700. Is it extreme or do I just not know about this? I do believe it is pretty easy to do. How long would it take for 2 men to put it on? What modifications would we have to do? and does everything come included in the kits? Please if anyone has done this befor to this year or a similar year please let me know. I need help. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
p.s. is it cheaper or better to put a suspension lift on it? If so does anyone know where one is? I havent been able to find one. And i have also heard that the Explorer and the Ranger are the same when it comes to suspensions. Is this true? If so do they go year by year (like is a 1997 Explorer the same as a 1997 Ranger?)
Please help.
Also pictures are great. I would love to see pics of a 1997 explorer lifted or any other modifications that are good to do to Explorers. I want to customize mine.
Thanks
