Hey guys! Just picked up an Explorer not too long ago, was wondering what options I have for extended length rear shocks. I have been scouring the internet and have not found anything. The only ones I have found are the early 90's Explorer options and 0" lift shocks. Going to use Rancho on the front because I have had a good experience with them in my Ranger. I am going to use extended shackles. Not trying to flip the axle or anything like that, just a mild lift in the rear and some extended shocks. Any help would be appreciated on where to find these things. Thanks.

being fully hoenst I have OME lift springs and shackles and at full droop the shocks seem to top out just before the brake line would fully extend and potentially rip. but if youre getting extended lines disregard anything i said


that being said iirc we can only shop by length on these
 






just a mild lift in the rear and some extended shocks.
For a 2" lift the shock stock lengh should work, but there are some rear shock extender
much cheaper as extended shocks (don't find any extended shocks).

Build my own rear extensions and use bilstein's with longer shackles + add a leaf

With this extenders the shock change is much easyer.
