    Ranger leafs w/ SOA on X?

    I am looking to mount a Spring Over Axle on my 92 XLT, mostly for purposes of ground clearance under the axle. I have heard that ranger leaf springs can be used to lower an explorer.

    i beam drop brackets

    Yeah. $160 for a pair of axle drop brackets designed for 1.5-2.5 inches of lift. Brackets come with adjustable camber bushings. I saw these in JC Whitney. I believe they are made by Tough Country. Good Luck, you might be able to adjust the camber on your balljoints, taking out the stud and...
