Can I lower a 97 Explorer SOHC with Air Ride???

[cloud2or3]

Title line says it all!

I've got the air ride system in my 1997 Explorer limited and carry a bit of weight in the back (probably quite a bit). It doesnt handle well as a result at all.

I have bought (yet to be installed) 18 inch wheels with 235/60/18 summers which may help out a bit over the 15" wheels and tires.

I would like to lower, and perhaps get sway bars. Front? Rear? Both?

So can I lower with my air ride system? modifications to it?

Yay Nay?

Thanks!

1. those are 29" tires, (stock is 28") you will not be able to lower the vehicle without a lot of rubbing. 2. the air ride will bring the vehicle back to "stock height" unless you have it recalibrated or use extended mounts.
