Hello I'm still looking for the right suspension lift for my truck and after getting allot of help from you guys here. I think I decided on the RCD 5" Suspension System Kit #10-42498. I just have a couple questions about this lift.
1. The page says "System Designed to work with manual or electronic front hubs. System will not work with pulse vacuum hub equipped vehicles." Does the
1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0 V8 AWD have the right hub for this lift?
2. This lift was made for a Ford Ranger. And the largest Engine in a Ranger is a 4.0 V6 which weighs less than my 5.0 V8. So how much will this 5" lift really do? 4.5"??
3. And I was told that a SOA in the back is the best way to go and that I can use the shocks that come with this lift along with the SOA for the rear of the Explorer. Will this lift be higher in the front than the SOA is in the back?? And if not is it ok to put a Spacer on top of the coil over to reach my desired height?
4. Do you guys recommend any distributor to by this lift from because RCD’s Distributors page is not completely put together yet?
Those are the questions I have. It would be greatly appreciated if can get some help on these 4 things. Thank you very much for your time.
