I need a little more height

[Makahveli]

Is there another way to slightly lift the rear of the Explorers after doing the AAL and warrior shackles? And a SOA would be too much. ??????????????

- 4 inch trailmaster springs
-take out the AAL and shackes and do the SOA

 

[Alec]

Do you have double or single AAL? Double is an option.

 

[Makahveli]

i HAVE THE SINGLE- wouldn't it effect the ride horribly with 2?

 

[udmsvt]

they make diff size AAL...i have seen up to 3". you could also ditch teh sport leaf pack in favor of 4-dr leafs and throw your AAL in that.

 

[Makahveli]

I quit the SOA because those bolts to the front of the leaf springs will not come loose/off, and heating it.....its so close to the fuel tank and I'm not a Fire Marshall Bill.

Double the AAL how much of a difference will that make? And whats the difference from the four door height to the 2 door height on the springs?

 

[udmsvt]

about 1-2" many people opt for the 4-dr leaf pack instead of AAL but you can do both.

 

[Makahveli]

hmmmmmmm. lets see 2 in coil spacers in the front with 3" lift springs, AAL, Warrior shackles, and what the best to fill that combo? I personally like the rear end to sit a little higher than the rear---a sporty look in my head.

 

[udmsvt]

for a 1st gen sport, 2" coils with 2" AAL/shackles will probably sit level. if you did the AAL/Shackle with a 4-dr pack, it would be a little higher, or you could use 1.5"
spacers instead of 2" or 3" leafs intead of 2".

 

[Alec]

Your sig and post contradict. 2" coil spacers or 2" body lift?

If you truly have 5" of lift in the front then definately go SOA in the rear.

 

[udmsvt]

if he really does have that up front, doing a SOA will put the rear 3" above the front and look goofy besides, we have alredy been over the issuee with his doing a SOA.

 

[Alec]

No, he'd do the SOA sans WAR or AAL. And doing things right surpasses a frozen bolt.

 

[Makahveli]

yes I already have a body lift and haven't done the coil spacers yet, well not until I find a way to lift the rear up as well without SOA

 

[Makahveli]

totalling 4 1/2"-5" in the front to 5 1/2"-6 in the rear Well basically I want the rear to sit up higher without the SOA

 

[Alec]

Then you need to either get double aal or custom springs.

which is kinda what 4-dr leaf pack with AAL is.

the SOA would be overkill for you if you are only doing a 2" SL in the front (coil packs). the BL is another story in and of itself.

 

[Alec]

However the 4door pack will eventually sag over time just like the 2door. In first gen there is little difference between the 2 and the swap doesn't make nearly the difference as in the second gen. Besides, it's not worth it unless he gets a new or very low mileage 4door pack.

 

[Makahveli]

i think double AAL then. Cause with the way the bolts are I can't get that long spring off anyways

 

[udmsvt]

ok, so back to the AAL...what ones do you have because i have seen 1.5", 2", and 3". ytou may be able to do it with just the single AAL (in th ebest intrest of ride).

as far as thse 4-dr packs go, they will sag but unless i am mistaken thay aready have 1 more leaf than a 1st gen sport pack. i could be mistaken on that one, havent had the chance to look under either truck lately.

I got which ever one skyjacker supplys, I bought it at 4wheel parts, they didn't mention or give me a choice of height, so I assumed that was the only size they had
