1994 Explorer w/ Solid Dana 30 PICS......

1994 Explorer w/ Solid Dana 30

Okay, well after a month of planning and collecting parts I have finally started the solid axle conversion for my daily driver. I will list what I am using to gain the lift below. This is my daily driver and is used to promote a band that I work for. I was hired as Promotions Director for a band by the name Red Tape Poetry www.redtapepoetry.com . I still have my 1992 Explorer that is trailored to the trail.

1994 Four Door Explorer:
-Dana 30 from 94 Jeep Wrangler
-3.5" Lifted Leafs Front (Superlift) for Jeep
-3.0" Lifted Leafs Rear (Rough Country) Explorer
-Spring over front Dana 30
-Spring over rear Ford 8.8
-Rancho 9000 shocks front and back
-M.O.R.E Spring pads for Ford 8.8 & Dana 30
-37 x 12.50 x 15 Goodyear MTR's
-Custom Driveshafts
-Brakelines
-Fabricated suspension system and mounting system for solid axle conversion by Unique Concepts of Tx.
www.uniqueconceptsoftx.com
-4.88 Gears front and back

Much more to come. The rear is done and the front will almost be completed by today. I will have some pics shortly. Remember this is a daily and will not see the dirt so the Dana 30 will be fine w/ the 37's.

The high lift may work, but I am not climbing under the truck to remove the suspension w/ it on a high lift. I went and bought a jack made for lifted SUV's and it still doesnt come close. We have to take a 4x4 piece of wood and jack it up w/ that.

And trust you me, that is still scary! You all would laugh at some of the things we come up with to use to get the jacks to work.

Damn, I figured if I read a thread this old that I would actually see some sweet pics. Well, at least this will give a reminder about this thread

 

[Trckmagik]

Man I promise I will have pictures soon. I didnt want to take any until I had all the issues resolved. I just installed a " body lift on it also. Now I cant even get into it and I am 6'3"s
All oI have to do now is install the new heavy duty front leafs and I will get some pictures up.

Brian, Why are you going that tall?

 

[Trckmagik]

This truck is just for looks. It gets driven maybe once a week when its nice out. It is a true street queen I have always wanted one of the largest explorers and I am getting pretty close.
Lets just say that the 37's are looking small now. I could easily run a 39.5 or 40". I have a trail truck that is my beater and I have my for looks explorer. Just something I always wanted. Lots more to come for sure though.

were the hell are the pictures !!

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

What are you going to have for a Daily Driver then? the Reason I asked was I figured your Explorer was still driven Daily.

 

[Trckmagik]

We have Dina's Escape that we drive daily. We still drive the 1994 Explorer around. Its just huge so not driven everyday

[Trckmagik]

I wished I could come up with the money to build up a 2-door because I would think 37"s or 40"s would be just the right size of tire for a off-road machine. At least that is what I have planned for one if I can ever get one. Tub the back end, tube the front, extend the front end to match the wheelbase of a 4 door and you would be set to go. I am finding out the "Purple" Explorer is just to small and I need a bigger axle in the front.
