'95 SLT in need of a few inches of lift!!!

[its pford]

I have a '95 SLT and im lookin to fit 33's (33x11.5 R15) on it. I was thinkin maybe a 2'' suspension (skyjacker if i can find it) and a 2 inch body lift.... would that do it? how hard would that be to do and would there be anything else i'd need?

2" suspension: torsion twist and shackles and/or addaleaf, and 3" body lift: 33x12.50s with some trimming.

about how much would that cost?

I cant seem to find any of that for a '95... would a kit for a '98 ranger fit? Because i kno that the explorer has an IFS and i dont think they started putin IFS on Rangers until around '98? Any advice? Know any sites i can go to?

Well the torsion twist is essentially free (as I understand it) all you do is crank a bolt on the torsion bars....there is a really good thread in I think the useful threads forum it'll tell you everything you need and exactly how to do it. If you go with 2" in the rear you could do a couple of things , one would be to use warrior shackles WAR 153...i think you can get them at Desert Rat . Or what I did with mine was put an add-a-leafs on...I don't know alot the 2nd gens but I do know you can't put a aal on with a mono leaf. If you have those (i think they are only on the sports) and you want to replace those you can get some leafs from a 4door (1st gen???), again if you use the search function you'll probably find all you need. I think that the shackles cost around $50-60, and the aals (at least for mine) cost around 50.00. I prefer aals since I prefer a stiffer ride. As for the body lift you can goto 4WheelParts
I think that a Performance Accessories body lift costs around $90.00.
Before you do all this remember to find out what gears you currently have...33's should have (from what i understand) 4.10's. Hope that helps!

does the torsion twist lift the front end or rear?
will it do any type of damage to the explorer?

Do a search...

The tortion twist(TT) will lift the front of the vehicle. There is a thread here that tells you where the T bars are located and how to do it. Also you dont want to lift it more than 2" if you are 4-wheel drive. If you do it will wear on the cv's and balljoints.
