welcome

the search button is your friend pa883 is the ranger lift taht you have to modify to use, there are hundreds of threads that discuss this.

Welcome to the site.. Dman is incorrect.. you need the PA853 body lift & you need to make custom bumper brackets since the brackets on the 883 fit but the steering extension off the 883 doesn't fit.. Since your from MD, hopefully you'll make it out to our meet & greet & dinner in December.. here's the link if you are interested. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120119

Can I install AAl and shackles in the rear and TT in the front and fit 32 inch tires or mabey 33?

 

[sk1er17]

no.

you'd need at least TT/Shackles +2" BL for 32's

and make that 3" BL + trimming for 33's


or get perry's fiberglass fenders

If i get pa 853 can i make the bumper brackets fit without going to a specialist?

For either kit, the rear bumper brackets will have to be made. The Ranger brackets are just wrong.

Good Luck!

Yes you can.. there are diagrams that can be found on this site.. You can go to Lowes and get 1/4" plate steel and cut them out..

I used these on my 95 (templates on this site), the rear templates are perfect but the holes need to be drilled wider for your bumper bolts to fit and the front templates were a lil off on my x so took a lil fab work


Actually I just remembered I still have the front templates if you ever decide you want them, I no longer have a front bumper

 

[Bluesmobile]

Yes i need the front and rear templates thanks

 

[ExplorerSportNu]

I only have the fronts if your intereasted, I'm currently using the rears, but you can get the template off of this site for the rears

 

[Bluesmobile]

i cant find either on the site but yes im interested in the fronts

 

[Bluesmobile]

Ive searched the site for the templates but i cant find any of them. If you could show me the link or anything it would help alot thanks

 

[ExplorerSportNu]

Alright let me see if I can find it real quick for ya, I have the fronts did you want those, if not I'm sure I can find both templates

 

[ExplorerSportNu]

Ok heres the front, still looking for the rear

 

[ExplorerSportNu]

Alright theres the rears

 

[Bluesmobile]
