After installing my 2" body lift, I couldn't imagine a 3" BL without a full shop available to me (I installed mine in my driveway).

What size tires are you planning to have?

32''for my truck

 

[SVO42]

If you have a shop to help you or one you can use then you can do the 3" BL, but if it were me, I'd do a 2" BL and a ~ 2" suspension lift. Overall I think you'd be happier with the 2 + 2. I ran that setup for years.

suspension lift front:
1. F-150 coil spacers
OR
2. Skyjacker 2" lift coils (better) (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SJA-132X/)

suspension lift rear:
1. Warrior extended shackles (http://www.tellico4x4.com/product_info.php/products_id/6362
AND
2. add-a-leaf (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EXP-13120/

I know shipping will be more expensive for you in France but if you do the 2 + 2 you'll also have a more capable Explorer.

Can you explain this more? Why would you need a full shop for the 3" but not the 2"

Hello everyone ,
I'll do the editing. advised by SIR SVO42
can you give me your advice for buying my shocks
Many of you give me advice "Bilstein" but also "RANCHO" and "Skyjacker"
MY CHOICE IS DOING IN THESE REFERENCES.


1) Bilstein by cons I can not find the right reference??

2) Rancho Rear and front Suspension Shock Absorber and Strut Assembly - RS5000 .

3) Skyjacker Rear and front Suspension Shock Absorber and Strut Assembly - Nitro 8000


I think the best thing for me.
shocks absorber that give me comfort and strength .

i drive the truck on the road much and also many on the roads very muddy, sometimes I have to cross small rivers or there are never more than 60 centimétres water
By cons ever 4x4 very hard, just small crossing

Thank you very much for your advice

you dont need a shop for either.... all ya need is some sockets a breaker bar a ratchet handle and most likely a crap load of wd-40.

Following the instructions in the kit you are supposed to jack up one side of the truck at a time to insert the lift pucks. With my 2" BL I could BARELY get the bolt holes to line up to get the bolts started. I did the installation in my driveway with basic hand tools, jacks, and blocks of wood (a lot of them).

I think having a shop with big jacks, a level floor, and maybe even a forklift might make it easier, especially to install a 3" BL. Just my opinion.

Any of those shocks would be fine. Just make sure that they travel a little more than stock (2" more) and have the same type of ends. I have the Rancho RS5000s and am happy with them. Measure your stock shocks compressed and fully extended and use those numbers as a reference point to buy your new ones.

you gotta think though. to put 3" blocks in instead of 2" block all you would need to do different is add another 2/6 onto that huge stack of lumber you had there and that would give you the extra inch of lift you need. i had a doubled up 2/6 A frame with a ratchet winch at the top so i did mine front and back not side to side. and also if you have two jacks you use one to lift eeither the front or back corner then you shove the other jack in betwean the frame and body and lift it that way.
