96 xlt needs mods

[964dexp]

just inherited a 96 xlt explorer w/119,145 miles. she i a solid suv, looking for some idea's from you all. this is my first explorer i have ever owned. have owned many fullsize broncos and still own one, but this explorer just needs a few mods in my eyes. i was thinking of add a leaf in the rear, coil spacer in front, front/rear sway bar/linkage upgrades, tires, ect..... i can tell you all i am not a explorer pro so i need your help!!! what is the best bang for my buck here???? will be a daily driver, camping, hunting, and ice fishing. no major trail riding so this should be pretty basic i hope. love to get all your help on this one, thanks for all your time, take care, brian!!

also have found some ideas from Madscotsman..... 2" body lift, 1.5 tt, rear F150 spings (which i have). if any one else has done this I would like to hear about any cv problems. I believe you would not want to do a tt more than a 1.5" do to cv binding. also what shackels are you all using in the rear with the f150 swap? thanks again, brian!
