98 explorer sport
What's up guys, i wanted just a small to lift on my 98 x sport. i really only wanted a 2-2 1/2 " lift. i was just gonna tweak the torsion bars in the front a lil. but in the back, comes the questions. i took everyones advice, and am going ahead with the warrior shackles, but was wondering if i should accompany those with 4 door leafs or not. i have one leaf and the remainder, 4 blocks i believe. also, i wanted rancho 5000's but they only have UP TO 2 inches for give. i guess my question is, do i need the leaf springs and other than the adjustable rancho 9000s, which are double the price(yeesh), what are my options? thanks fellas

Definately get the 4dr. springs. If you don't, you'll most likely end up wanting them later. When you're doing the shackles it'll save you time later by not having to come back and replace the springs. Even better yet, do shocks, springs and shackles all at once. If you have to take everything apart, it's easiest to do it all in one shot.
 






awesome man thanks for your help. other than a junkyard, is there anyplace i can get some leafsprings from a 4 door. they usually cost somewhere under 100 bucks tho right ? thanks again
 






o one more thing, because the rancho 5000s wouldnt be able to support the 2 inch raise, should i just use the shock extensions ?
 






your ranchos will work, even the stock shocks will work

You can get the springs from JCWhitney. One of my friends just did for his Sport.
