You need the PA-883 body lift for the Ranger.. It cost about $150

^^^ Yup thats exactly what you need, then 2" tt & aal and shackles and theres a 2" suspension lift

 

[Mcane6]

they make a 4" suspension lift for the 2nd Gen X but they run bout $1600
the Bl is a great way for 2-3"

[swak6287]

i just finished doing my body lift, im running 33"s with 1" torsion and stock springs, it rubs at full flex but not around town

 

[MadMike6786]

so with the bodylift i wouldnt have 2 get longer shocks or anything new

 

[MadMike6786]

and how much is instalation on a body lift

 

[bmxking5]

No you wouldn't need longer shocks, cuz it doesn't affect the suspension. Also, the installation is usually pretty pricey. It would be around $300 atleast for the installation alone. Plus, it might be hard to find someone to install it since it isn't meant for an Explorer. It would prob. cost more just b/c of that even though the only thing that needs to be modified are the bumper brackets.

dude it took me 3 hrs to do all ten body mounts. piece of cake

 

[Mcane6]

^^^ yeah what he said

the only prob is the bumper mounts

 

[MadMike6786]

wana do mine lol

 

[ITSA 5-0]

haha, depends on wether or not you buy the beer

It took me and two other people about 8 hours to do mine...not including the bumpers. The front body bolts were horrible....had to cut them. The radiator was a little tricky but not too bad.

 

[Mcane6]

mine took three people and 8 hrs. but about 5 of them were for the bumpers.
