i got a 6 inch fabtech lift tell me if got everything

What is your real goal?

Are there specific trails you have in mind?

i just mainly drive the road and freway with a little bit of trail time. there is not much out here in washington, at least not near where im at.

Oh, there's plenty of trails to run but you're right, they aren't close to the metro areas and those that are, are over run with people that don't care or they aren't legal areas to wheel.

A friend, about 5 miles from me, has driven just about everything I have with 1.5" of lift and 31's, so you don't 'need' 6" of lift to enjoy off-roading.

The Duff kit is good stuff. If you got all those brackets for $120, that was a real good deal.

Like I said, if you can, come over to the Little Naches area next weekend and you'll see Explorers of various levels of modification and/or keep your eyes on the Pacific NW section of the forum for other trips/gatherings.

There's a lot of experienced wheelers here in the NW that are willing to help you. Heck, 5 of us went to Moab this year. More than any other area of the country. Some on trailers and some of us drove our rigs there and back.

I'm sure we'll try to put together another gathering before the end of the year. It may just be a BBQ somewhere.
 






ya ive only been to reiters pit i have heard walker is good tho. just my main question is does that lift fit a 33?
 






Duff lift, you'd probably get away fitting 33's depending on wheel selection with perhaps minor trimming...................

yea i just dont want to spend all the cash just to fit a 1 inch bigger tire. well maybe i can throw some 1 inch coil spacers in there with a 4 inch aal in the rear? that would fit 33s for sure right? if anybody has a 4 inch aal tell me im very interested.
 






aal gonna stiffen the ride............... throw an aal and extended shackles on, should get ya close to 4"
 






Those springs look like the skyjacker part # 136 for 6" of lift. Since they've already been broken in they should net you about 4.5"-5" of lift up front, so a SOA in the rear would be just right.

If you are still running your stock shackles, you might want to check to make sure that they aren't rusting through, I know mine fell apart in my hands when I did my spring pack swap, as the only thing holding them together was the paint and a whole lot pf prayers (They looked fine until I tried to take one off, then *poof*).

really? do you or anybody what the stock unsprung spring hight is for and explorer so i can see what the difference is between them is.

that story sounds like it would be crazy to watch haah wow amazing stuff. i do have a set of 2 inch lift shackels that i made but i would like to get a 4 inch aal i dont trust shackles a whole lot......
