Superlift 4" kit ???

[taxx]

Locker install went very smooth. Seems to work right and get good traction. Haven't driven but on the road yet, will have to find a mud puddle soon. I seem to be dealing with what others are saying are just breaking in issues of poping now and again. I will let you know more after I have had several miles on it.

Dave, did you talk to Nick in Memphis? and im thinkin about gettin JUST the front superlift kit for a Ranger if I can find one since its exactly the same!

Yeah I talked to Nick and that was the best price around at $1130 for the front. everywhere I called the front box kit for the ranger was more. I wish they shocks where in their own box kit so I wouldn't have to buy them. I may use the front at first (till I can afford the proper RS9000) but the rear I will stay with my RS 9000. Unfortunately according to superlift the front has two box kits and one has ALL FOUR shocks in it. That has to tack on a couple hundred to hte price, oh well I guess they will make good spares!

You have a 96? I've noticed the adds listing the 96-2001 Superlift kits for Explorers. I thought that the 96 listing might have been a typo as Trailmaster had in one ad. Previously they only had the lift listed for the 98-2001 as the torsion bar mounts were bolted on for those years...
Did they have new mounting brackets for the welded on torsion bar mounts on the 95-97? Or was it a typo and you had yours cut off and remounted?
Did you do the install yourself or did a shop do it, and if so what did they charge?
Thanks!

Well I don't know if you are talking to me or not, but I do have a 97 and the 96-01 is not a typo. I don't know why 95 isn't included? . Mine are welded on and I have not done the install yet, just ordered it today! I will do a writeup once I get it installed, probably a while from now judging by my schedule . But I will let you know none the less. I will probably have to grind off my torsion bar mounts and drill new mounting holes or weld hte new brackets on. I haven't surveyed the front yet been too busy planning the spring over rear!

But I did get my locker installed last weekend and I love it!

I don't know why the 95 isn't included either. Alot of shops that sell stuff for explorers list the 95 along with the 91-94's. It makes me mad.

If anyone with a 95 gets this kit it will work, 95's are exactly the same as 96's suspension-wise.

For the 95-97 the new torsion bar brackets will "piggy back" the existing ones. So you wont have to cut off the old ones.

 

[ExplorGM]

96?

Texplorer-
How do they attach? Have you done the install? Do you have pictures?

Xceslimited-
Same questions?

I don't know if anyone is actually running this kit yet??? I know there are others running the 4" ranger kit which should be the same thing. i am getting so excited to get her!
