96 XLT lift trouble!!!

[KrazyKarl]

I have a 96 XLT that i would like to put atleast a 2in body lift on. I have checked every local 4x4 place close to where i live and i keep getting mixed answers... Ive herd that there isnt a lift for the 96-98 explorers, ive been told the 96 is a unibody and thus you cant use a body lift on it and ive even asked if you could use a body lift off a ranger of the same year and been told it wouldnt work. The reasion im so confused on the matter is because i see lots of pics of other peoples explorer of the same year with a body lift. So baisicly is there any such body lift for the 96 year? Or is it pretty much impossible as ive been informed so far? Any help/info/strait forward answers would be GREAT!!!! Look forward to interacting with other explorer enthusiast

Welcome to this forum! I'm sure that if you take a look in the modified 95-01 section, you will see a lot of things that people do to lift them.

You can use a bodylift. You just have to buy it for a 1996 ranger.

For starters, smack ther person who said your truck in unibody. You have a full fram truck, not some pussy jeep. Now, if you have alot of options. You can use a body lift from a ranger of the same year, but the bumper brackets do not work. You can also turn your torson bars and get another 2 inches or so in the front and buy shackles for the rear. For about $200-$250 you can have an easy four inches of lift.

Who ever told you your X is a unibody is a moron! IF I were you I wouldnt go back to that shop because it sounds to me like they are a bunch of morons!

You want a PA-853 3" body lift made for the Ford Ranger but used widely on the 95-97 Explorer too.

Check the forsale section. You can find some good deals there.

I bought and use a kit from Ebay, it comes with rear shackles and new torsion keys, it works great, I upgraded to gas shocks on the front and coil overs on the back and the ride is not rough but nice

many get the body lift for either a 91-94 explorer, or i forgot what year rangers for a 2" or 3" lift respectively. as far as keys and shackles, many brands make them. many choose warrior for shackles.

Just trying to find a way to lift the explorer looked at torsion keys and bars also shocks and adjusting the front keys can’t find the back location

ahhhhhh what do you mean the back location? the end of the torsion bar? or how to lift the rear?
