Search First, Ask Later young one. A search will of yielded many answers to your questions, and they would of sounded like this.

A 5.5" superlift is the highest lift possible for the 1st gen TTB, you can go higher but thats with a body lift, which has no effect on driveshaft length. A 5.5" superlift requires no driveshaft work and shouldnt effect reliability, just drivability. Mine has a 5.5" superlift and 3" bl and its reliable as anything else out there, buts it no where near as driveable. The also make 4" and 2.5 and 1.5" lifts for your X, all without modifying your driveshafts. Some claim to have problems when they lifted their X with the 5.5 kit with the driveshaft being overextended but from what Ive seen and heard it isnt a very common problem.

there is another lift you can get i don't know the brand (I think it superlift) but it is an 8" ranger lift and it will work for the front end and then youll have to add a leafs to the rear. but if you run bigger tires you will obviously have re gear your ride

ya i guess it could work, never heard of it being done before. If you go that way then make sure you do a good writeup on it. If its real good I can see some serious elite explorer time being given.

BTW, its a skyjacker kit, and jackit.com is the only place I know of that has it, I think its been discontinued.

There is a 6inch suspension that is around for the 1rst gen too. I think it is a Skyjacker it may be discontinued but i have seen them on ebay or here(dont remember where).

the 6" skyjacker kit is essentially the same as the superlift, unless you can tell the difference between .5" of lift. Yes, it was discontinued but they do come up on ebay and forums every now and then. The coils are softer and flex and ride better than a superlift coil. jackit.com still sells the kits but I believe they are just ranger front end kits, which work perfectly.
