2001 XLS/XLT spindle lift

[xxScapegoat]

i think im going crazy, but is it just me or does this not exist? i see theyre made for a 2000 (as BigDave has), but that they wont work for a 2001. Could it be?
if they DO exist, who (online vendor) has them??
would a ranger spindle lift work on an explorer like practically every other lift?

pplleeaassee help

after looking at every thread in the "suspension" forum, i somehow came across this website...

will either of these 2 spindles fit on my 01 2wd 4dr xls?

yep those will work, any lift spindle that is made for a 2nd gen explorer will work, the first one on that page just comes with an upper a arm and the second one does not.

so those spindles and some shackles/aal should be about right?

possible stupid question: what advantage does the adjustable arms have? just adjustable heights?

not sure what is adjsutable on the uca's however if they are what i think they might be, then its probably to fixextreme camber issues

so with those spindles and some shackles i should be set with some 32"s and the front a tad higher than the back, right? or shackles/aal to even it out?

i had a moment earlier where i was JUST going to do a tt/shackles.. dont know what i was thinking here in the desert. Slowly im coming off the body lift idea, dont really know why.. i guess i want something a little more, for lack of a better word, durable.

body lifts are just fine... there are a lof of purists out there who say bodylifts are trash, but i have have never seen an actual bodylift been destroyed by offroading..... having the front sit a little higher than the back is fine... do something to the back though, a lot of people like that baja look of the real race trucks, but a real race truck was engineered t osit liek that, and without having a real race truck suspension under it, in my opinion just looks stupid.....

look at my pickup to the left... its a 4x2, i have 4"spindles, 2" rear shackles and a 3" bodylift on it, its a toyota but the suspension setup is pretty much the same
