4th Gen Lifts

Mr.TeeBee · December 20, 2014

Mr.TeeBee here, I have an '07 Explorer and have seen multiple pictures with my generation lifted, and wondering if anyone else has done it. Would like to know about brands, prices, labor, any issues you have had or potential issues you could have. Thanks!

Just thinking out loud here, if the loaded Rancho QL advertises 1.75/1.00" and the struts only QL advertises 1.5/1.25" lift, that seems to imply the OEM rear springs are a tad stiffer / taller.

So if we replace the loaded QL's rear springs with the OEM ones, wouldn't we end up with 1.75/1.25" lift?

That would be ideal for me because I carry a lot of weight when overlanding and would prefer a bit of rake to avoid a sagging rear when loaded.

You're math is correct I would still contact Rancho and ask.
