95 x sport bl, tt and shackle ?'s

[95plorer]

Okay I want to do a bl, warrior shackle and tt to my 95 x, and I have a couple questions.

I'd want the 3" PA BL What part # do I need, the 883 or the 853? Do I need the #883 bumper brackets? (I'm really confused here) If not does anyone have a template that I could use? What else do I need to know? (I've done tons of searches and I'm still confused lol) Links or anything would be great . What should I do with the radiator? Does the BL come with everything I need, like the steering extension?

The Warrior shackles are really straightforward, but is there anything special I should look out for when I do the TT?

And finally, are the warrior shackles a full 2" lift like the TT is? If not what else should I do to the rear to make the f/r level with eachother?

I have tons of questions here, so whoever answers thanks for taking to time to do so.

If anybody has pics of this done if you could email me at racerboy13z@hotmail.com that would be great. Thanks again!

If you get the 853 kit.. everything will work sweet but the bumper brackets. If you get the 883 kit.. everything will work sweet but the steering extention. Most people find it easier to make bumper brackets than make a steering extension. The kit comes with everythign you need to lower the radiator.

Anything else?

I have 1 more question, once I get the susp. and bl done, how stable is this gonna be at highway speed?

Mine seems more stable since I did the lift, probly 'cause of the BFG's that used to be on there. I also have a heavier sway bar (that's disconnected most of the time). But I've taken several 600mile trips since the suspension and body lifts, and I barely notice the change in mileage, and not at all in handling, just that you sit a bunch higher.

In case you care, I have not even adjusted my bumpers since the BL. The back one is kinda ok looking, the front one is covered by my grill guard. I managed to get the guard up a few inches, so it covers the gap between the bumper and body. I'm just waiting to get some tubular, receiver hitch equiped bumpers for the front AND rear fab'ed up. Good luck.

Oh, and missed the fact that you have a Sport. You want to look at your rear leaf spings and see if they are mono-leaf (ie one leaf ). If they are, which they probably are, you will want to get your hands on some leaf packs off a 4-door before making any susp modifications (especially longer shackles). The Warrior shackles should produce about 1.5" of lift, depending on the exact angle.

Thanks guys you've been a huge help

So will a safari light bar for the 96's on up fit? Can i make it fit? I can't seem to find one for my 95.

oops 1 more question, what part # are the warrior shackles? I would really love to make my own if anyone has the measurements.

 

[95plorer]

Nobody has a shackle template? I'd love to save myself 50 bucks.
