Is this everything

Also, if you really want flex, then radius drop brackets are Not the way to go, and cheap axle pivot drop bracektes will crack and try to kill you right when you least expect it. IMHO, you should just save up and get a strong kit from a reputable company, like skyjacker or james duff. You won't be happy with that kit if you're into serious offroading. And if the brackets are cheaply made, what does that say for the coils? They could be too stiff, and hurt like hell on every bump, or be too soft and frump out on you in a year... either way you just blew money on a headache.

Component cost aside, if you're looking to do this on the cheap, do you have all the tools that you need? Like, welder for SOA or extended shackels, or a good set of drills/grinders to take out the frame rail rivets? I also didn't see any hardware with those brackets, so you might have to drop money on Grade 8 bolts as well, plus the already mentioned extended brake lines, drop pitman arm, extended anti-sway bar end links, possibly with quick disconnects, and the ever important alignment.

I'm not trying to work hard to crush your dreams by any means, as I love seeing lifted X's on the road, but to get what you want might just mean waiting till you have the funds to get the right stuff, and you can still feel great about saving a huge chunk of change by doing the install yourself.

So, the question remains: What are you going to do with your explorer? Or what do you want it to be capable of?

I have a full tilt fab shop to work in, I work at a tire and alignment shop, and i drive my truck to work and back. I occasionally hit dirt road or two after it rains.
I not looking for hardcore offroad performance just a mean stance.

if thats the case its probably fine for you to get. but factor in the drop pitman arm and hardware and its going to be the same price as a new kit

this doesnt have a drop pitman arm, but is way better brackets and new parts with hardware

and this one is really nice
