Best way to lower a 2000 Explorer?

[cduffman1]

I want to lower my XLT 2 inches in the front and make the rear match. What is the best way to do so? I want looks and a good ride

For the rear you can use 2" blocks to lower the suspension. Since the rear is SUA(spring under axle) if you install 2" blocks between the axle and spring you get 2" of drop instead of lift. You didn't say if your Ex is 2wd or 4wd so I'll give you both. For 2wd you can use drop spindles. I've not seen drop spindles for 4wd but thats not to say they're not out there somewhere. If thats not an option then you can unload the torsion bars a bit, but doing this will make the ride softer up front. The amount of difference will depend on how much you lower the front.

On the front do a tt and on the rear but blocks in between the axle and springs

It'll ride like a boat if you do undo the torsion bar bolts - due to lower spring rate. Search for the topic though, its been covered quite a bit.

Spindles

Its a 2wd, do you know where I can find the spindles?
