I Cant Find a Lift

[XLT_96]

I Just recently bought a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT and i cant seem to find a lift kit anywhere, i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get one, i think i wanted to go about 4,5, or 6 inches? and im thinking 33's, will i have enough clearance in the wheel well?

yes....search....there are actually alot of options.....the 4" superlift 5.5" RCD... 3/2 inch BL's TT shackles....you get the idea, btw welcome to the site.

Superlift makes a 4" suspension kit. the recomended tires size on thier website is a 33x12.5 tire, so yeah that would work

Or you could go with a 3" performance accessories bodylift for a ranger (PA-883). It would fit on your explorer, and you should be able to clear 33s with that, and just in case they dont clear, you cut do a TT (torsion twist) safley up to 2". Just some thoughts. do a little searching and you should be able to find answers pretty easily, a lot of into on this site.

2300$ for the RCD kit and it needs to be modidied a bit.......for a 5" lift with the 3inch BL TT and shackels......250$(150 for Bl 60 for shackels and then 40 for alignemtn after the TT).

You don't want to have a body lift (BL) any larger than 3 inches

5 inch bl puts too much stress on the body so they dont make them with the TT and 3" body lift it will give you plenty of clearance for 33". I went all out with the RCD lift on a ranger and made huge difference smooth ride all i need now is uniball upper arms for more travel. What ever you do pics appreciated Good luck and happy wheeling
