I don't believe that the F-150 coils will fit in the stock Explorer coil buckets. The F-150 coils would be too big (larger diameter). What you can do though, is go to your local Ford dealer and ask for F-150 spring spacers. Adding the F-150 coil spacer will give you about 2" of lift in the front. Add Warrior shackels (WAR-153) to the rear and you've got a cheap 2" lift (before an alignment). These topics have been discussed at length before, so if you have any more questions, a search through some existing threads will probably answer them.
While I've heard that they're larger diameter, I've also heard that they've been used (at least on Rangers) to lift. Standard F150 coils give a 2" lift, I think, though I imagine the ride is hellish.
BUT
Considering the issue of larger diameter, I wouldn't mess with it in your position. Cheaper just to get the coil spacers, I'd think.
