    Not to sure about lifting my Explorer??

    I got my 2009 Explorer about a month now. I used to have a 2004 Explorer. I had a BTF spacer lift. I can't remember the exact height but it wasn't a drastic lift. After awhile I added the BTF upper control arms. The mounts for the upper control tore off the frame. So this is why I am...
