1997 Explorer Sport
I have tried to figure this out on my own through the search method, but I'm still a little unsure what I need. I want to do the TT up front on my '97 SPORT, but in the back, I had planned on an add-a-leaf and Warrior shackles. I want to get the back end to sit at the same height as the front, so since I have a mono leaf set up, do I need to swap that for the 4 door pack, and if so, will I have to do the shackle, 4door pack and AAL, or will I just have to do 4 door pack and shackles to get the same hieght as the front after a TT? Plus, isn't a 4 door pack going to really stiffen up the ride? Thanks to anyone who can send me some info, I'm sure you're all getting sick of the same old questions.
 






Don't quote me on it but all you should have to do is add the shackles to the back to level it out to the TT in the front but since it's a mono leaf im not positive.
 






While using shackles is a quick way to get lift, it also adds instability. If I were you, I would get a 4 DR leaf pack and consider an AAL or Double AAL. I just swapped F150 leaves for my Ex leaves and got 1.75" of lift (see my 'sticky' at the top of this forum). I don't notice my truck's ride to be that much stiffer but AAL's will definately start making the ride more harsh.
Good Luck, Dave.
 






I want an add-a-leaf to level out the sag in my rear end. Where should I go to order one? I already have a James Duff suspension lift on it, but i need about 3/4ths of an inch more on the drivers side rear end.
