Suspension lift?
Body lift?
You want long travel or you want drop brackets?
What are you going to sue the truck for?
There are SEVERAL options for lifting a 2wd gen II explorer.
Check out Camburg
You can also try a SEARCH on this forum.

If I was 2wd I'd be running some 3" lift spindles. It's about the easiest way to go and fairly inexpensive Do a search and you'll find tons of info on them.

im 2 wd.... just get a 3inch body lift...its cheap and you can set aside a saturday to do it... it wont change your suspension at all... and if you want do a TT and shackles ...65 bucks for the shackles and tighten the torsion bar bolts and get an alignment...thats how i fit 33s along with most... that will end up beingabotu 4.5 inches counting the body lift..

Personally if i had a 2wd i'd be going the pre-runner route.
3" lift spindles (if i wanted to drop the coin a camburg long travel suspension)
deaver leaves for the rear
remote resivore shocks...etc
mmmm

I have a 2000 2wd X and just did a set of Hannemanne glass, WAR153 shackle,tt, and I'm running BFG 33" MT's on a 15x8 3 1/4" bs. Absolutely NO rubbing, and it looks good until I can finish it off w/ a Camburg 6.0 system and some Deavers. You have many options. Not including tires and wheels, I spent under $500 to fit 33's and The great thing is that the only parts that won't be used when I get my lift is the shackles. $75 in parts wasted to look good in the mean time? Not a bad deal. And don't worry guys...when I get rid of these shackles, I'll post them here for about $30 to help someone out.

Camburg 6.0 looks to be worth every penny from the video/pictures/and feedback I have seen.
When it comes to 2wd though you have many choices.
