Explorer Sport Body Lift

[mmitchell33]

I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport and I'm looking for a body lift. All the body mount bushings are completely toast. I can not find any regular bushings or lift kits for the Sport model. Does any one have suggestions or know if the Sport Trac or Ranger kits will work?
Thanks!

You won't find any listed for the Sport. Or 4 doors either for that matter. You are looking for the Pa-883 or equivalent. As for the body mount bushings, search Energy Suspension, Moog or try Ford.

See reviews in link below. Many 2001 Sport owners quoted using the KF04009BK kit.

Details- Fits the base and Sport Models.

Just did the pa 883 ranger lift on mine

There you go. Performance Accessories PA883 + Daystar KF04009BK = 2001 Sport 3" body lift with new poly mounts.

For anyone who has used the PA-883 and Daystar KF04009BK, is it a pretty straight forward job or are modifications necessary? Also, on a side note, what size tires did you go with?

Still running the 33 inch tires I had before the lift

Did the PA-883 a few years back. A few tips and observations (and screw ups on my part) are here. Starts at #12 .

Post lift (with AAL, shackles and TT as well), I'm running 33x12.5s on 15x10 rims. Still need some trimming up front, but it has a good road ride and great trail manners.

Enjoy the build out.
