How to lower a 98 AWD??

[WannaXP8]

Do you just crank the torsions on the front??? How does saleen do it???

I am uncertain as to how saleen does it. But i do know this you could just turn the tortion bars down and add blocks to the rear to make it level, i did it this way for a while, but my alignment costed me $170 cause they needed something, i think it was just BS, but there was nothing i could do. Or you could do this

I don't know how low you wanna go, but i would get the kit from explorer express.

The best way I can think of is to trade it for a 2wd.

Sorry couldn't help it.

Check out my thread from a couple of weeks ago:

According to everything I've read, there's no difference between lowering a 2wd and a 4wd as long as you don't have the air suspension option.

Saleen and Explorer Express do it the same way: blocks in the rear and torsion twist in the front. Check out the Explorer Express website bcuz it's got some very good info.

If you have any questions e-mail me.

like everyone said- blocks in the rear, and TT in the front. I have the EE kit..but bought it about 3 yrs ago when it was a little cheaper.

i was looking at the site and i have a sport. it says the kit from them is only for the front. what do you do in the back then?

 

[YetiX]

Nuthin. The sports only have a monoleaf rear. If you lower the front only 1 1/2" the rear should be about even. If you feel the need to go lower, the sport already has a spacer block. You simply undo the u-bolts, move the spacer so that it sits between the axle and the leaf springs and put the u-bolts back in place. Easy.

What i did was put the lil 'spacer' blocks that are between my spring and shock plate, and put them between my Axle and spring. This is about 1.5" and then the EE kit up front. I don't know if thats what the directions said or not,but i know the sport kit doesn't come wilth blocks.

I did what i stated above, and then lowered the tortion bars to match, then got an alignment
