[ExploderXLT00]

I was wondering if ne one had some links to a lift kit for my 2000 5.0 AWD (suspension, body is useless). maybe there is an exped. kit, ranger, f150 ne thing? im desperate...its the front CV's holdin me up i think...and please dont respond with do a search on the forum, cus i have and no results are specific to my question. if you gota link though thats cool

would this work? i just found it searchin around through the forum, through a link http://www.jackit.com/store/supercart.cgi?s=fd127sd

Yes, that is the Superlift 4" Explorer kit. That will work, or Trailmaster makes one as well. The Superlift is a better lift though.

 

[ExploderXLT00]

ok, but what about the driveshafts and such, and steering components...what would i do bout them?

 

[section525]

Well, this kit is made for the Explorer. So everything will be taken care of. Superlift sells a front driveshaft you can use, or you could get yours lengthened if you need to. What do you mean about steering? The Superlift knuckles place the steering back to stock.

 

[ExploderXLT00]

How could i get the front CV shafts lengthened. i read that the stock cv shafts wear out in 25-30k miles i dunno, well have to see bout that? and i guess if the steering is returned to stock, then i wont have to worry bout it right?

Ahh. I thought we were talking about front/rear driveshafts. The kit will lower your diffy/knuckles, putting everything back to close to stock locations.

The kit does put more stress on the front driveshaft, but not the cv joints.

the cv-joint in the driveshaft is what'll go out. I am converting mine to accept u-joints instead of a cv-joint.

The Superlift is a better lift though.

May I ask the details as of why?

The Trailmaster uses the stock knuckles and you have to put spacers on top of them to connect with your upper control arm. Then you also have to put these steering brackets on in order to make it work.
