there pretty easy. you have torsion bars in the front and you can just adjust down with camber kit around an 1.5 to 2 inches with a boat feel and the rear is leafsprings either flip em or get customs springs. to get 4 inches you bought the wrong truck for that. you want a 94 and older explorer with coils in the front.
 






For the rear you need blocks.
 






and you may also want to invest into some camber adjusters as well, and will prob have to loose your bumpstops.
 






Pile it on until you get to the height that you want :p:

Ok so where can I buy a Camber kit for my truck. And leaf springs that will lower it? I want it to be even in the front and the rear. And when you say blocks? what do yiu mean are there special blocks made for lower a truck? And thabks everyone for helping me out.

They are called lift and lowering blocks. They lower Explorers becasue the spring is under the axle. I believe 3" is the biggest they make.

Any parts store will have the camber bolt kit. Any alignment shop should have them as well. You will need an alignment after lowering it.
