    superlift 5.5(did search but too much to read!)

    Welcome to the site You will need some extended brake lines, plan on replacing all the bushings, 92-94 will have some miles on them. Hyperflex sells a complete kit for about $120. Plan on also tierods also, unless you plan on Superrunner steering. If you get a 5 speed, it'll be quite hard to...

    Anyone converted A/C to an air compressor??

    Actually it's very easy. Any compitent A/C shop could do it for you. I haven't done it myself, my buddy that owns an A/C shop does them for me and all of my club. You basically need a pressure swith, on/off switch, and a small air tank. The switches off an ARB compressor work really well...

    It Finally Happened

    Pulling someone over for "waste of time" stuff like lights, etc. is called PC. Probbable Cause. This is more of an excuse to check out who that person is. 90% of warrents (rappists and murderers) are served due to traffic stops. I know the system well due to family in the business. I also...

    brake lights stays on when suv shut off!

    Check your master cyl and/or brakelight switch under dash above brake pedal. Sounds like your master cyl is not returning your pedal to turn off switch.

    Superlift/4 wheelparts part #'s HELP

    The difference between kits is the shocks and do not include extended radius arms or steering. E = explorer procomp E3000 shocks, R5= RS5000, R9=RS9000. I highly recommend the RS9000, I flex twice as much as my buddy who just has skyjacker nitro shocks and extended radius arms and I don't! If...

    power steering pump

    Good luck replacing the seals. The fords are a bear. I have done both and would recomend replacing the pump, not that expensive; besides you get a warranty with a new pump.

    costum lifts

    Courtney, forget those guys. :confused: Personnaly, I wouldn't run that much lift, but that's me; just as I couldn't lower an exploder. This is you. Sounds like you are about maxed out on lift, so why not go with Perry's fenders to get bigger tires, that will ultamately get you taller. If...

    howdy, what do y'all think bout them mickey's??

    Love my Claws. :bounce: I've been spanking J**P's in my club even with boggers. I have only considered selling them to go bigger. Yes the Baja's aren't the greatest in the mud, but you have to consider the pro's and con's of every tire. I don't get flat spots, just slight cupping after 15K...

    spark plug wires

    Try twisting the plug boots when removing them. Some wire kits come with it, but if not just dab a little bit of silicone inside the boots so they do not stick the next time.

    Fans

    I did the electric fan gig for a while. Loved them on many rigs. One thing, they must have a shroud. On my X, I noticed a big difference in throttle responce. They still won't move as much air as a belt fan. I liked the electric for rock crawling because at idle, the belt fans move little...

    Swapin' Everything!!

    The rear axle is a snap, just weld spring perches (with the angles) and shock mounts and your set. The front, keep coils and radius arms like Cory said, follow his buildup. As for the transfer case; The bronco used a model 20 until 77 or 78, in 79 I can't remember if they used a model 20 or an...

    spark plug wires

    This is my third X and I have run Autolite wires on every one. They are $35 or so, lifetime warrenty, 8.8mm full silicone, and exact fit. Can get at almost any Auto parts store.

    DANG VIBRATION

    Is this vibration all the time, some times, changes? At what speed? In the seat or steering wheel? P.S. I wouldn't use that *c* word on this forum.... Just Kidding!!

    Rancho Shocks

    I set mine between 3-4 for road in front and 2-4 in rear depending on the load I'm carying. I set them at 1 for rock crawling to let the spring do all the work. I also removed the rear sway-bar all together , it really flex's now.

    Rancho Shocks

    If you've got the money, the only way is 9000's! I love them so much. I can adjust them to ride like a Honda or an F250. When I turn them down off road, I flex twice as much as my buddy with Nitro's. I have heard good things about Pro Comp's new MX6 shocks, (six way vs. Rancho 5 way) and...

    Superlift SOA Braket questions

    I have not had any movement over the lift of the lift. They work great. Only thing I have never done but think about it everytime I'm under the rig is cut or make the plate that goes over the springs. I still have the old ones with the stock shock mounts on them. I like Jon's idea of stich...

    superlift 5.5in lift w/superrunner bracket

    Double check the drop brackets that come with the kit. I have had great luck with this kit as I am not very easy on it. Extended radius arms is a must. I just ordered the superunner steering, so I will let you know next week. IMO Superlift is so much better than Skyjacker because their kits...

    5.0 conversion

    Sounds like Explorer ! is on the right track. I have this problem with another car I was working on a while ago. Did you swap the computer from the donor car? Look for a security system and unplug it. The car with the same problem had one right next to the main brain. It would have the same...
