Oh yeah, trust me, there's interest.

Agreed.

Hey Ex, do you know a guy named Oscar? He also lives there in Reykjavik, and drives a green full size Ford Bronco...here's his supermotors link if you want to see the truck...http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/26

Hey Ex, do you know a guy named Oscar

No I don´t know him, he actually lives in Keflavik which is 50km´s south of Reykjavik. He´s got a massive Bronco, probably unstoppable in the snow.

Don't know if it's got enough lift to be posted here :scratch: 38x13x16 are on the way! Originally 1998 Sport 4.0L SOHC, now 302 EFI, SAS D44 in front, 14Bolts on the rear

The front suspension is not 100% completed

I'm 5'11''

How did you manage to fit a 302 in there???!! the bay looks so small with teh 245 in it..

Explorers came with optional 302s since '96 from the factory...

2nd gens are all the same from the dash forward. the doors are the main difference between the sport and the 4doors. i'm sure there are other differences like the frame and rear driveshaft length too. but most parts... and engines are interchangeable. not to say that a 5.0 swap is easy, but it is not impossible.

Thanks for all the pics guys. Seeing what all these 2nd generation X's look like lifted and being able to read the sig so I know what each lift component combo does has really helped me out. My 98 XLT is stock right now but that will change soon and I will post up pics of progress.

does anybody know if the 4wd lifts will fit on my '99 sport 2wd? i was looking at the frame on mine the other day, it looks like they use the same frame for 2wd and 4wd as all the front diff brackets are all there. i just want about 2" of lift, and i don't want a body lift. i don't really want to crank the torsion bars either.

there are no 2 inch suspension lifts, period.
there are 2" torsion keys, which do the same thing as a torsion twist (increase the pre-load on the torsion bar) to gain lift.

wait... I believe there are 3" spindles you can get.

why spend the money on a 4wd lift kit if you only have 2wd? 4wd kits are generally more expensive.

 

[73stallion]

where can i get the 2wd spindles?

Been watching this thread with great jealousy for a while now...had this lift kit sitting on my shelf for years! Finally got it done last week...

plenty of threads floatin around here with that info.
suspension: Dixon Bros, SuperLift, Trailmaster (although it's not listed on their website anymore?), RCD.
or get a Ranger bodylift.
