I have a 94 explorer limited that I would like to do a 5.5 ' lift on .
I was told that I would have to flip my rear axle and use blocks
to lift the rear . Is this possible ? I am looking at the super lift
suspension lift kit . Does this kit come with everything to do the lift ???Thanks to all that help

You don't actually flip the axle around... What you do is convert from a spring under axle to a spring over axle (SOA). By doing that alone you get 5"+ inches of lift.

You can buy the superlift kit which is pretty much bolt on and some people have left their like that or go the other route where you weld on new spring perches on the axle so you can put the springs on top of the axle. This is the SOA perch/u-bolt/plate kit I used... http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/88SS-31.html

In short, most 5.5" lift kits come with some way to do a SOA in the rear while 4" lift kits keep the spring under the axle and use new springs.
