- 1998 Ford Explorer XLT
I just purchased a 1998 4WD Explorer XLT, 222,000 miles, rebuilt engine and transmission. It was well taken care of and everything seems to work fine with the exception of the suspension. The rear end is sagging about 2 inches and the front feels like solid steel. I feel every bump like I'm being hit with a sledge hammer. I put new tires on hoping it would help but no improvement. So I have decided to go with a lift of some sort. I have searched everywhere online but cannot find a suspension lift kit for a 1998 4WD Explorer. Did they do something that drastic to the '98 model? I see front spacer kits for '91-'97 but no '98. I don't even find body lifts, which I don't really want but looked anyway. What I do see are add a leafs for the rear and shackles for the rear but nothing up front. I would really like to do a 2-3" suspension lift (front and rear) if anyone knows of anything. Thanks.
