Explorer suspension

[Extendedcab]

i need help could i use ford ranger suspension parts on my 2000 ford explorer 2wd i was planning on lifting I tightened the torsion key sits high has a squat doesn’t look bad at all but it rides like **** and it doesnt feel safe anymore i feel like itll flip easily heard a few stories on that upon buying it haha. So im lowering it now. Any ideas on a good kit ive heard the 98-11 rangers have torsion suspension would fit mine so if i get a kit for a ranger would it work?

I put Ranger lift springs in the back, and new indexing keys in the T-bars.

Mine rides smooth and goes around corners almost as well as my 93 Mustang.

How did the springs effect ride height?

With the new springs, with the long add-a-leaf I got about 2" then the Warrior's put me at a net gain of 4".

I got 2 1/2 from the new indexing keys. After I put the new keys in, I had to actually back them off, giving a very not harsh ride in the front.

Thanks for the info but you think i could use the front suspension components from a ranger?

I used spindles off a 2001 ranger edge on my 1998 expo. So yes you could.

I’ve had both. I liked it lowered. I did it cheap though with 2” blocks in the rear and a TT.
