Looks awesome dude. I was about to scrap mine, and decided to just slowly bring it back. Normally not one for fixing rust, but I figure the rough body lets me give zero fu%$s on a trail. 209k on it, and starts every single day, and runs perfectly smooth. Hard to let it go, so I wont haha.

i did the procomp "long" and "short" leafs 100bux total for both sets
pretty much gave me 3inches....and i put them in the order they go...
and i swapped the right and left leaf packs while i had them down.
it fixed the "drivers side lean"....
hope this helps you....what do you plan to do with your x???...

I plan on doing actually the same setup , it doesnt seem that expensive and i love how you can fit 35s on it , because thats how big i wanted to go .how much totally did it cost you said and done for the lift? and what body lift do i buy for a 1995 Explorer 4door? What website did you get the aal from? They dont make a "Long" aal for mine so which long set would work?
