Hi , my name is Christian, im from Mexico, actually i have an explorer 1996 5.0 awd, im in love with this truck, we love the mud, but we need a change... a change of "inches"... I can´t find anywhere the body lift for this model.. how can i lift my ex by the cheap way.. im a student, i haven´t much money.

I heard in somewhere that the body lift for the ranger fits in this model, but i don't believe it.

Please let me know your opinions.

By the way, Im glad to join your forums (sorry my spelling i dont speak English to 100%)

Have a nice ride...

Hey senator. Doesn't he need a PA 853 since he has a '96?

I have no idea -- but his chassis and body should have the same exact mounting as mine (mine is a 98) since they are both 2nd gens so the 883 kit should work.

What is the difference between the 853 and the 883?

 

[Dan Whitaker]

Christian, it is the PA 853 that you will need.

The PA 883 is for 1998 because these years have a different steering shaft design than the 95-97.

My mind went blank this morning on my first reply after the long weekend.

Then PA had to number them so close & that doesn't help either.

ok..now i have the right code, i was comparing both (mine and a 98) and... you are right, each one has different steering shaft.. thank you Dan Whitaker, better safe than fast Dan
