I just lifted my 92 Explorer 3 inches with extra leafs so that the back sits level with my trailer attached. Is there a way of lifting the front now so the truck will sit level. Maybe longer coil springs or some kind of blocks to raise the srings. Any input would be great. Thanks. Sailorman3

are you mechanically inclined?

you can raise it about 2.5" before needing to modify the front end heavily... you can buy 2" lift coils and also F150 coil seats.... do a search...... if you raise the fornt end though, when you dont have the trailer, your rear end will again be sagging.... you might want to look into putting airlift bags back their instead and just removing all the extra leaves and such in the rear...
 






just get f-150 coil spacers--they sit just under the coils
 






JImbena have you ever seen a TTB with more than 2" of lift over stock get aligned?

2" of lift over stock is pushing it camber wise, with stock brackets and arms.

I wouldt go over 2", in fact I would stick with the 1-5/8" F-150 coil spring seats if you want to be sure the camber can be brought into spec........

The largest camber shim avaialable for the 4x4 TTB is 2.75 degrees
 






410 is right. You could goto ebay and get a drop bracket, they you could put the 2" lift coils in front AND the f-150 spacers but that will give your around 3 5/8" lift in the front (but they'll settle down I bit I would think).

Good Luck!
