Welcome to the forum. It's always nice to see people with Explorers with manuals in them.

it says you have a hurst short shifter.... where did you find that, all i got done to mine is lowered a little by tt and blocks...

 

[briwayjones]

I want to lower my sport an inch or two. Haven't done it yet though. I got it from Summit Racing.

It says it's for a Ranger but it will work for an Explorer just the same.

it didn't cost me anything to lower mine, just done the tortion twist and flipped the plates on the leaf springs... i can send you pictures of it if i can figure out how to do it on here

 

[briwayjones]

I would like to see the pictures. Off the top of my head I can't think how flipping the plates would lower it any. You can't post pictures on here except from a external account like Photobucket unless you get a membership on here. You can send them to my email if you want.

it works man if you look under the back you should see 4 plates what you do is support it on jack stands and take off the u bolts and some other things i cant think of right now and take the plates and move them to on top and then just mount everything back together but most importantly make sure you get the notch lined up on the leafs or the rearend won't be str8
