well i went with new leaf springs. 3''drop and 1'' block. and new front keys... that was a 4.5/4'' drop. but if your looking for 2'' get 2'' blocks for rear ( stock shocks r still good, keep them. they dont get shorter from the drop ) and TT the front. you can ride with bolts out for max drop with out ditching the factory keys, or key flip. and new front swaybar links ( 2'' shorter then stock ) front will not lower level do to the torsion bar differences. what everside is lower ( driver's side due to gas tank and driver ) crank back up to level, after you drive a few miles to settle them in place. and if you have the money go for a new rear sway bar. EE has them. pricey but deff worth it. without the sway bar an links, your looking at a wopping 30 dollar drop. well worth it, and handles great. i went down farther because it is no longer a daily driver, and im in the process of getting bags installed. any other questions feel free to ask. and welcome to the world of the lowered X.But your probbly going to want new front shocks, they do get shorter an can blow out. eddlebrock makes a nice drop shock for explorer. but are like 75 bucks a peice.
