i am looking for a 2"body lift and i was wondering if there is a difference in name brands if there is a good kind or a bod kind? and if you know of a good place to look. thanks
But is seems like most members of the board prefer Performance Accessories' body lifts (PA). I think their kits are more complete (include the bushings, hardware, necessary steering extensions, and bumper brackets). I've read a few complaints about the bumper brackets being "useless," though.
Some folks have custom fabricated their own brackets, and their drawings are available on the board. Just search a little.
yes Performance Accesories seems to be what everyone uses....but now that i think about it i dont recall ever hearing about another name brand. But i guess it doesnt really matter, since PA lifts do the job fine.
they dont have a 2inch lift for a 95 explorer do u kow anywhere else?or if a lift there would work from a different truck would fit? thanks for the help
srry ddue thought you were a 91 - 94...... you can use one from a ranger but i dont remember exactly which one... search and i think you will fint it... there was a thread jstu in the lst couple days that had the part numb. Peace

They don't make them for 95+ Explorers. We're using the ones for Rangers. But yeah, get a 3" in my opinion. You'll want to go higher anyways. Might as well do it from the begining.
I believe that if you want a 2" lift you need to purchase Performance Accessories 792 kit which is designed for 91-94 Explorers but apparently fits. I can't tell you how it goes until mine arrives. As for a 3", I think its a PA 883 or a PA 853 designed for Rangers. There is a thread that talks about the two 3" kits and which one is better due to steering extensions and which model you have. Remember, when you order, don't tell them your putting it on a late model Explorer. Here is a link which might help that you could have searched for:
