    What is the biggest lift for the explorer?

    I had a coil with extended stock radius arms on my Bronco. The trac bar was the only problem. The guy who owned it before me never installed and adjustable one so the diff was pushed to the drivers side a few inches with a 5.5" lift. So I would need to find a solid axle D44 and a rear 9" from...

    What is the biggest lift for the explorer?

    So do a full size SAS and a spring over axle in the rear. Where do kits come from for the SAS in the front or are they a custom setup. I only see pics of people that have done the swap.

    What is the biggest lift for the explorer?

    Spring over seems easy to do on the rear. Just being able to match the front lift so the truck sits right and not nose down.

    What is the biggest lift for the explorer?

    Well I did have a 74 EB with a 351w and a D44 in the front. I broke an axle on the first trip out to play. But the EB axles are alot smaller than a FB Bronco from 78-79.

    What is the biggest lift for the explorer?

    Cool. Thanks for the info guys We do alot of trail stuff then when we find a mud hole we usually try to see what we can do. We stay away from the rock crawling just because more damage occurs with that compared to mud. I like the idea of the gussets. I have a 95 F-150 with a Tuff Country...

    Dana 44 ttb in Explorer?

    may be easier to swap the EX body on a Bronco/F-150 chassis. Then you get a V8 swap with a stronger drivetrain.

    4x4 Not Engaging...

    Sounds like shift motor.Check by checking for power to the motor.But it could also be the switch so thats why I say check for power to the motor in 4 high and low.If you got them down to the connector at the shift motor.......then you know the problem.If no power then trace back to the switch.

    I am leaking from the frost plug on the r/s head at the rear too. There is a screw in rubber plug in there right now. I was thinking that I might be able to find a block heater core that will fit in there since it looks like I will have to pull the engine to replaced it with a hard plug. Has...

    Clutch problems

    Sounds like the slave cyl. The brakes and clutch do not run off of the same. They are seperate. Should be a small res just to the right of the brake booster and the master is below the brake master on the firewall that attatches to the clutch pedal braket inside the vehical.
