Has anyone used one of these on a 3rd gen Explorer.?

Those will not work on 3rd gen explorers.

It specifically says its for 2002-2005 when you look at the different vehicles it fits on.....

It also specifically says that it's an add-a-leaf and a torsion key. Unless you have a 3rd Gen Explorer Sport model, your truck does not have leaf springs or torsion bars. Therefore it will not work, regardless of what the listing says about model years.

Their vehicle list is inaccurate. There was only up to 2003 two door explorer sport model, and that still falls in the family of second gens.

Well you have the rancho quicklifts too. Or you can weld/fabricate some brackets to install aftermarket coilovers. Other than those and the other ones you mentioned, that's pretty much it.

If your only goal is to fit larger tires and for the truck to look taller, then you really can't beat a 1.5" or 3" body lift for the cost.

The only thing about the quick lifts is that all I hear is that they eventually settle and you loose some of your height, And the body lift I know its cheep but I would either have an upside down hitch or have to trim my bumper, I already have 265's I just want to get it up higher. So I might go with the BTF spacers or maybe the 1.5" or maybe even a 1" body lift. Thanks for your help Ronin! I loved your 3rd gen, But that Iron Man looks incredible!

I have a 3" body lift and I didn't have to flip my hitch or cut my bumper at all. As a matter of fact, somebody did a nice little write up in the sticky section about the Rear Bumper/Hitch Brackets for 3" Body Lift.

I know but thats for a 3" body lift I only want a little lift not a whole lot and it would be different for the 1.5" body lift.

Also did you install yours yourself or have a shop do it.?

 

[HiImBrian]

I wrote the how-to, so yes I did it myself. That last inch and a half isn't much, but you're going to want it if you take it off-road at all.

Go big or go home, if your gonna put the time into putting in blocks then you might as well go with 3 inch imo, thats just me. i could see myself saying 1.5 would be enough then doing it and being like well maybe I should have done 3, then I'd have to do it all over again.

Exactly what happened to me, lol.
