Need to upgrade my 94 Explr

[Polardogg]

just got a stock explr and want to upgrade it to be able to make the Rubicon run.Are the stock axles worth building upon? Is a 2" lift capable or do i need to make it 4"? Basically what stock component needs to go first?

4" lift might be enough, if you run 35's with it. Axles are strong enough. Plenty of us have run rubicon with stock axles. It's everything else that makes the difference: tires, gears and lockers! Not to mention body armor, recovery points, winch...

Check this section http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?forums/offroad-4x4-runs-planning-and-discussion.80/ and search for rubicon threads, and read up on the vehicles that went and look how they are built up and how they did on the trail.

James Duff makes a 4" kit, although as I recall it may be listed for Rangers. You may have to call them.
