i have a 4 wheel drive torsion bar explorer im trying to bag but was wondering if there was any website the would be able to tell me if i could and how hard it would be to switch to a coil spring ranger front end for the 4 in. drop arms and spindles
 






i have a 99 ex, and my freind lowerd it before i got from him he took the bolts out of the front and put 2 inch lowering blocks on the back but i notice my front is pretty much riding the frame what can i do about this , is there a better way to go low this my first truck and american ride.
 






I have a 01 explore. Wanting to lower it. I turned the torsion bolt 8 full turns and it only lowered it 2 inches. I'm lost on what I'm doing wrong. Y it only dropped 2 inches.
 






i've got mine lowered 2'' all the way around but am contemplating going lower,, did the tt and 2'' blocks in the rear..
 






Yes I could not get my lower than two in the front the bolts are all the way out I don't know if I have to get a new key for the torsion bars?
 






All I want is to lower Front only about 1 inch - searching but I've yet to find clear directions...
 






Anyone running KYB MonoMax on their lowered Expy's yet? I got them for a steal and it was time. They claim 40% more damping performance than their OE spec shocks. This is 15% stiffer than their second stiffest shocks (Gas-A-Just at 25% more damping performance). I am lowered 4 inches and the ride was firm with Monroe Sensa-Tracs and all poly bushings, but I hope it's even tighter now. Any input would be great!

Are you 2wd? How’d you get 4”? What wheels are those?

Looks fresh man, that’s what I’m tryna do myself, a nice 3 inch drop for myself. What size are your rims? How’s the ride as well? But big props on this one man
