    james duff 2.5" lift

    That does not include all the options for the 5.5" lift. Try at least $1500+ or somewhere in that neighborhood to get everything you need. The James Duff lift is a good quality one for fitting some 32's under the truck. The 5.5 will only fit 33's. Both kits are very good kits from what I...

    Dual shocks on rear axle? kits? how to?

    For the front the James Duff kit is the only one that I know of. For the rear you have to custom make your own. Most fab shops should be able to do something like that fairly easy. ------------------ Ryan Penner 1992 Explorer Sport Modified

    Its not funny anymore.......

    I don't think anyone has said the install for this lift is easy. This lift will easily take two days by any good shop. It can take two days to a week to do in your own garage depending on how many friends you have. I don't know how they could charge your $4,500 to install the lift unless they...

    What is the best susp kit for a prerunner?

    Your best bet may be lower air pressure in the tires, Rancho RS9000's and removed swaybars. If you plan on doing any wheeling then you have to ***** what kind you do and then go as big as you can there. I recomend Superlift myself as its the only thing I have run. ------------------ Ryan...

    ARB Shooting oil

    Well the last time I went out snowbashing I had the ARB on the whole time. At the end of the trip I was told it was leaking oil. I got under there the next day and sure enough! Well I took it to the shop today after talking with a rep from ARB and he said that my O-Rings were not installed...

    Cat-Back for 2 doors...or dual straight pipes

    You should be able to go to just about any custom muffler making shop and have them make one for you. I had a flowmaster put on mine with 2.5" piping custom made for a decent price. Its all welded in also, with something of a lifetime warrenty. Basically there is a Meineke which is owned by a...

    V10 explorer ??s need help

    In order to do the swap right you will need... The laws in your state about swapping in engines. Once you figure out what those are you can start the second part. Getting the motor and tranny. Advance Adapters says the stock tranny will not hold up behind the power of the 5.0. The best bet...

    From all of the stuff that I have read on the 5.0 swaps Kaufman's seems to get the best reviews. Most people that have done the swap using all of their prodects never seem to have hardly any fittment problems. I plan on using their products when I get down to doing this swap myself. The key...

    Rancho RS9000 lifts 1.5 inch?

    Shocks normally do not give any lift. In fact I think he may have some that are 1-1.5" taller then normal which wouldn't be good. Because they would be much easier to bottom out which can break shocks and shock mounts. ------------------ Ryan Penner 1992 Explorer Sport

    Engine Swap!

    I think Paul wants to swap the 3.8 in just because the Supercharger is allready there and the motor is probably well built allready. Plus there is that bragging right with swapping in something that isn't the norm. ------------------ Ryan Penner 1992 Explorer Sport

    Locking Hubs Fantasy?

    You should be able to get these at any 4x4 shop. They will be cheaper at a 4x4 shop also. Try looking in your Yellow Pages for 4x4 places and start calling. This is a somewhat common part for them to stock. Your 94 should be able to do this without having to change anything other then the...

    HOLD THE PHONE!! TC's 1998 W/ARB AIR LOCKER???

    TC Accually just found that same thing out the other day when he went to go get one installed. I guess the 35 up front for the newer ones is a much differn't design then the older ones. Since we live in the snow state the ARB is really the best option out here. He was telling me that he...

    Owners with WARN Manual Hubs

    Rick, are you using the same type of hub with your 44? Shouldn't you be getting the premium hubs? I know that the premium ones bolt on better then the ones that are on our Explorers. At least I thought they did. ------------------ Ryan Penner 1992 Explorer Sport

    Wondering about exhaust......please help

    Rick what did that run you to get the high-flow cat? Is it 50 state/carb legal? Does it bolt in right at where the headers end like the stock one does? I was thinking about getting one of these when I put my new headers in just so I get the total exhaust done. ------------------ Ryan...
