rocky,

As I have a '96 Explorer, I don't have a lift yet, but have been reading much about them. As I understand it, you should give the new rear a couple weeks to "settle" before you try to even the ride height. They should settle in and sag an inch or so as the springs compress. After a couple weeks you can just torque up your front torsion bars an inch to even it out.

Rocky,

bachelor25 is right. In a month or two you can expect the rear to settle 1/2"-1".

If the problem persists after settling, you can add up to 2 1/4 in coil spacers up front. Though you'll have to realign the front end again.
