** RCD(Race Car Dynamics) - up to 5", Very expensive. Built for the Ranger but can be used on the front of any 2nd Gen Explorer. RCD's coilover conversion lift is discontinued. But you never know if you might find the parts used.

This is a coil over conversion.

** Body Lift - More info above
** Shackles - More info above
** SOA(Spring Over Axle) - More info above
C/O(coil over) conversion using RCD parts. RCD's kit is discontinued.
pretty straight forward. Buy the shocks and mouting parts and bolt it on. There is some welding involved as you have to gusset the shock towers. But it rides better than the torsion bars, and I no longer have the t-bars hanging down below my truck catching everything insight. The cost was about $1100 because I bought Fox coilovers.- Thanks Chad551
**Update**
We have some confirmations that you can fit 35`s with a TT/Shackels, With alot of trimming though... Thanks ADAS!
Now I know I might have left somethings out, had somethings wrong, So PLEASE Let me know and I will fix it. I would also like Prices if possible.
