'91 XLT
i have a 91 explorer xlt with a 4 inch lift. when i got the lift all it came for the rear was add aleafs, it was enough to fit 33inch tires but it is lower in the rear than the front. i was wondering what i need to get to make the leaf springs be over the rear axle for a little more lift so it'll be move level. can anyone help me

search for shackles.... part # war-153
 












yeah they are underneath the axle. do you know what i need to do for the SOA, i did a search on it and apparently its popular for jeep owners, but is it any different for an explorer?
 






Just remember that by doing this you will get about 5" of lift.

Then you'll have to make the Front match that.

You need to cut the Perches and reweld them on the other side..
Probably need to extend the Brake lines. Not hard but remember the Front is not as easy to lift.
 






SOA gives you more like 5.5" to 6" of lift.
