1. Its a truck. 2. A Sport is a very short wheelbased truck. My 4 door Explorer Limited rides rougher than my 4 door Sport Trac. The Sport Trac has the longest wheelbase of all the Explorer models.

And you are welcome to slap ncranchero if you do find a difference. :D

I don't think they are the same part #'s. But the thought had crossed my mind to try something like that. It doesn't make any sense and does piss me off that both my trucks are the same age. One with the deteriorating bushings and one with perfectly fine bushings.

Get a 13mm Hex Key wrench(Allen wrench). It fits in the bottom mount and will help keep it from turning when you are turning the bolt up above inside the cab. Don't stick the two body bushings together like I did in the photo above. There are little tabs inside that interlock the two pieces...

When I did my body lift in 2002 I had borrowed a big channel lock wrench from a neighbor and had my tiny wife(no ex-wife) underneath the truck trying to hold those damned things in place while I turned the nut from inside the cab. What a pita that was. What a trooper my wife was for helping me...

You can't tell by looking at it, but the bottom body mount hole is a 13mm allen wrench hole. PS: I only learned that fact a couple of months ago.

Are you doing just a body lift? Or are you doing body lift and replacing rotting body bushings?

That's Chad's ST in those pictures, not mine. I was just posting them here since I saw them on another thread he had going.

Something to watch for... The A/C line that goes underneath the harmonic balancer... http://www.explorerforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=41046 I personally never liked dropping the radiator 3 inches. So I just cutoff the fan shroud side tabs that help hold it in place and rotated...

Happy New Years ST Owners!

The steering wheel is still there in front of the seat.

Happy Birthday Jen! :party::chug::chug:

Here's a couple of pics from changing the heater core on my 2000 Limited. It would be the same for the Sport Trac. It's really a sucky job to do.

Not for a while. :(

Here's the Superlift skidplate. This is from a Sport Trac at SEMA 10 years ago(year 2000). But it is designed to attached to their cross beams. The Superlift lift is not designed for hard core offroading. Me and other members here on EF have found out the hard way. Their brackets will...

You can see the one I put on my ST that's made for the Rangers. And you can see its just thin metal and got beat up on my truck.

The Superlift skidplate might be the one that goes with their lift kit. I used to have the one for Rangers on my truck. But, it's more for looks than protection.

Stic-o???

Corkey, that's not my Sport Trac. That belongs to my friend Chris. He gave me a ride home last night. And as reapereviltwin said, I left my Sport Trac at my cousin's house up North of me. It was great to meet everyone and hang out for a little bit.

I have the warrior shackles with my SOA. It's up to you if you want to do it or not.

My truck came from the factory with 4.10 gears. But, like Johnny stated, it would be better with 4.56 or 4.88 gears.

I was on my way home from vacationing in Arizona. I was on I-20 in Ft. Worth. It was just before 10:30am. And the axle shaft sheared off at the axle nut. Without that, the wheel bearing comes apart. And the wheel/tire, brake rotor, and brake caliper go flying off the truck. I then skidded...

Well, Kris and reapereviltwin already know my fate from yesterday...
