No extension needed.

No problem with the shaft.

Just to let everybody know, you can fit 2" blocks on the explorer. You will have to do a little trimming on the rear. The front you will need to make a bracket to lift it. No problems with anything else, will post a pic later.

Brian was right, I had a little accident while wheeling bent my wheels and busted my coil overs so I put the struts back on and take it easy on it now. Only easy trails for it now.

Here's a couple pics of the explorer. Built a new and stronger roof rack, getting ready to put a 2" body lift. Got new monroe struts all the way around. Hopefully here in the near future I will be getting some 285's to put on her. [/IMG] [/IMG]

About 600$.

Thanks, right now I am starting to do redo it. Trying to make it a little more hardcore for the trails here in TN.

Looks good, what size and what kind of tires do you have on it?

What are the specs on these? Also I would like to see how they did the offset bushing on the lower mount. I have some Fox coilovers, that I got with a extension, that I would rather mount in stock location. Thanks.

That is sweet! I definately would like to see it up close.

The transfer case skid is stronger than it looks, like Ronin said I high centered my explorer while wheeling last weekend, bent it a little but it protected the transfer case.

That is what I am thinking. I guess I'll may start looking into it, I know we would have to do something with hole in the frame, and the rear crossmember for more clearance.

Thanks, yea the front worked great, but the rear was really limiting me. Just not sure what else you could do to make it any better.

Here's a couple pics of the Explorer off road.

Well I took it wheeling this weekend, coilovers helped a lot, but the damn rear on these 3rd gens really limits what you can do. The Explorer did great up at Coal Creek, I only had trouble one time when we were climbing a hill and at the top the was a huge boulder right in the middle, I go hi...

Will do, going to best buy to get a bigger sd card so I can take some video too.

was it worth the costs ? Yes, it was actually cheaper than the Rancho Quicklifts are you satisfied with the results ? Yes would you do it again ? Yes if you could do anything different would you ?? Yes I would, I would see about making new lower control arms. The 3rd gen arms are a joke. I...

Well it's been about a month with the coilovers and everything is great. The ride is way better, less noise in the front. I removed the front swaybar and can not tell the difference in the ride, way better flex now. I am going wheeling next weekend and I'll let everybody know how it went.

I would have, but by 10am the snow had melted away.

A little snow on the explorer this morning.

Looks good, I wish the 3rd gens arms were more like the 4th gens, I really like this setup.

Alright got the 750lb springs on the coilovers, went with PAC racing springs, also made some extended sway bar links for the front.

Mainly all I need is the width, I have a couple guys selling them here and I need to know what width to get.

Thanks, I would like to make one but just need to know the measurements.

Here's mine, 2 100w rugged ridge front, 4 100w pro comp on the roof.

Do you still have the prerunner bumper yours? If you do what is the measurements and how did you mount it?

I just do not know what to say..... this is wicked!

I made some extended sway bar links to today and installed them. I adjusted the preload on my drivers side to get both sides even. I am at 38.75 front and rear. I have 13" clearance front crossmember and 13" at the frame. Here's a couple pics.

Alright when I did the coilover conversion, I changed the lower control arm. Wasn't too bad. I found by using a torch to heat up the front bolt on the lower control arm, reall made it a lot easier to take off. Also keeping the the lower arm level made it easier to remove the knuckle. Great...

I would like to see this, and was it a 2wd or 4wd?

Yea I got the PAC racing springs only come in the orange. We always say we will not modify, but then before we know, we are doing mods and planning more.

Yea you should be fine, just keep a eye on those upper joints. I only had the 1.75" spacer on mine, the only trouble I had was the boots busting on my ball joints. I wheel mine pretty hard so that was probably why that kept happening to me.

I changed mine a couple weeks ago, no problems. Used a little torch to heat up the bolts, they broke loose quickly after that.

You do not need the relay, the switch will be fine.

I don't think there is much more I am going to do, may do the rear coilovers. I would like to do a bumper, but without a plasma cutter would be a little harder.

Alright got the 750lb springs today, much better. Need to drive some more and then adjust the preload. Right now I am at 38.75" Front, 39" Rear.

Looks good, I got my 750lb springs on today, what a difference. I also have a 1/2" difference from driver to passenger side.

BTF is the best, you can get spacers and the upper control arm.

Looking good, let us know what you think after taking it for a drive.

Not yet, still waiting for my 750lb springs to come in. I do not think will need to adjust much, pretty happy with the ride right now.
