1999 Ford Explorer Sport
Well I have a 99 ford explorer sport and it has 95k miles on it. I am going to replace the shocks on it but I thought I would lower it while I was at it.

I was going to lower it about 3 inches (2 inch blocks in the rear and take out the torsion bolts in the front which should lower the front 3 inches).

Right now I know I need to buy:

2" Blocks
Lowering shocks
camber adjusters
Adjustment

I just wanted to make sure this was all I need. Also what would be the best shock for the money for a lowered explorer?
 






anyone?

Bilsteins or Edlebrocks are good for lowered explorers. Looks like all you'll need from your list. Have a reputable shop do the alignment. Consider an Explorer Express swaybar to finish it off. You'll have great handling with this setup. Good luck and post pics if you can.

EDIT: They may not make Bilsteins for lowered explorers anymore so check out Edlebrocks or Doetsch
 






also ubolts and stuff
