I just got a set of 520's from caarparts.com for 151.42---that includes shipping...you need to use the 1/3 off coupon...so if you spend up to $300, you get a max of $100 off. Pretty good deal if you want the 80 XTs.

Thanks for the replies and the pic....So for the record.....Use the Trailmaster or any other lift for a late model Ranger (what years exactly)and rear springs for ? in the rear? Will the OME springs work? I already have Warrior shackles...what should I do or use with them? Thanks for your help...

What is different about the torsion drops? Is it that they won't fit at all or need minor mods that could be done by someone with a grinder and a drill?

From what I've read, I don't know how much longer I can wait for Trailmaster. From what I've heard, on a 98 Explorer, a late model ranger kit will work. Is this correct? The only concern is the rear springs?

I just got my 98 Sport back from the dealer today with a brand new 4.0 OHV. It only took them from July until last week to come up with one. If they do exist.....they must be pretty rare!

I hear you there! I'm all for doing stuff myself when possible. I think that the best things are that you don't get ripped off for big $$ and that the work is QUALITY! Its much better to be able to blame yourself than someone else for messing up your Explorer! Good Luck!

Great! Looks like we don't have to try and figure out what to do....

Ok Phx...Next Sun. Keep me posted.Robert...Sounds like a good close trail to try. I agree...lets wait untill it gets a little cooler! Hey Steven does this sound like a plan when it gets cooler?

Hi all....I live at Ray between Gilbert and Lindsey. Practically neighbors. Well, I found out that I have to work Sun. A.M. also untill noon, so let me know. A trip would be great. I'm really not as modified as it sounds. I need some clearance more than anything else. Bulldog canyon...I'm not...

Hey NiteLife...our OHV's, from what I understand don not have cam chain tensioners. I think that those are only on the SOHC engines. Can anyone confirm this for me? I finally got a service advisor that didn't try to band-aid the problem or quick fix it with something else. I hope that I get...

I can help if you need it. I'm not real familiar with what you're doing but would be glad to get my hands dirty. Let me know if you are interested. I live in Gilbert and can get almost any tools we would need (I think?) Let me know ASAP...I have to work Sat. A.M. but could lend a hand any other...

I am getting a new engine from Ford under warranty. I was told that I would have 12 mo. or 12,000 on just the engine. My warranty will expire on the rest of the vehicle in March '01. I will hit the 3 years before the miles. Sounds kind of shady....Good luck!

I have the same problem that you described. on the first visit to the dealer, they "cleaned" the #5 "combustion chamber"....whatever. On the last visit, after 2 days, they call and tell me that a "new"(remanufactured)engine from Ford. Well its been about...oh....3 weeks and they can't find me an...

You guys that ordered these for Sports, do you have SOHC or OHV? Is there a difference? I have an OHV...what will work and does anyhave this setup on their Sport? Thanks!

Which system will fit the 98 Sport? Will the one for the 99 work?

Does anyone know if the 2 door kit will fit a 98? I saw that someone said that it will fit a 97.

Is that the Quadzilla chasis under there? How do you like it?

Check out my post under General for what happened wiyh my warranty and the K&N....thanks again!

Thanks for all the replies... But is it possible to put the Atlas in a 98 Sport? Would it still use the electronic switch to switch it or would it have to be a manual style shifter? Another ? to anyone reading this.....Has a Ford service advisor ever told anyone you know who has taken a...

Either Ranchos are better than the stock ones by far! I just put the 9000's on my 98 Sport and what a difference it made! I had the fronts set on 3, the middle setting and the rears on 2, a little softer, for around town. Then I went on a road trip and the road was full of curves, so I set them...

When I was looking for the add-a-leafs, I was told not to use them on the single leaf style springs found on the Sport models. If you put it under the main spring, it will cause the main sping to ride on the ends of the add-a-leaf and in turn weaken the main spring where the add-a-leafs ends...

Ok...I guess that I'll have the dealer look at it and chec it out. Do you think that I ought to twist it down when I take it in so they can't blame anything on the "lift"? Thanks again too all!!

Wow...all I know that sometimes it's worse than others and that it is annoying. Does anyone think thaat it's odd that one of the adjuster bolts is almost all the way in while the other is almost all the way out? Thanks for your help!!

I'm getting a popping/grinding noise when I take off from a dead stop. It's only during hard acceleration and stops at about 35-40 mph...when the control trac cuts out....Any ideas? Thanks...

Has anyone ever heard of a CV joint failure on the front diff due to the torsion "twist lift".And if so, what are thi signs and symptoms of a failin CV?

4 Auto to 2WD Ok...so what would happen if you wanted 2wd instead of 4Auto? There has to be a way to disconnect or modify how it engages the front end. Is it just the switch on the dash or is there more to it. My guess is that there is more to it.I also have a 98 with 4Auto, 4hi, and 4low.

I saw a post that says that the Rancho RSXs are too short. I just tried to install mine and guess what...they are too short. I saw that ExplorGM had the same problem but Ray Lobato had a possible "fix". If anyone could help me on this one it would be appreciated. I need to know if I should keep...

Whats the deal with these shocks/ I just Got mine P/N 17018 & 17021. Are these wrong or too short? I have a 98 Sport 4X4 with the Warrior/Twist lift. Will they be too short for the extra couple of inches?

I just got My Superchip from Smartyparts about 2 weeks ago. When I installed it in my '98 it wouldn't start either. I got with Chris and he told me to get with Superchip. They had it back to me overnight after soldering a jumper wirg in the box. I also sent the chip with it so they could check...

Hi Jeff... From what I gather from your conversation is that there are NO external amps in '98 EXCEPT for the Mach system running the sub? I have just the base CD player and want to replace it but was wondering about the external amp. Thanks for your help.

I just installed a 50 series on my '98 Sport with the 4.0 OHV. It's a little loud---not bad.I had a shop do the cat back with 2 1/2 pipe into the Flowmaster P/N 52556. It cost me $165 for everything. I also drilled the airbox, put a K&N in and will install my Superchip when the ECU gets back...

I was told that on my 98 Sport that if it has a momo leaf that a add-a-leaf CANNOT be used. It will hit the mono and cause it to break where it hits. Fly-N-Hi told me it was OK to use it but another shop said no. I think that Rancho and Superlift make the one. The other store had a cross over...

I have a 98 sport. I took the airbox out and removed that "reducer" that has the inlet behind the headlight. I found a piece of straight flexible duct and used a hose clamp to clamp it to that lip on the box after the "reducer" was removed. The duct is long enough to go past the radistor support...
