Add-a-leaf. It's a very common problem.
 






It wasn't leaning to the side at all before the lift?
 






look at it again with an empty tank of gas
 






add-a-leafs will definitley help you out if your Ex is leaning. But as jimabena said, it's common for explorers to lean to one side because of the constant weight of the gas tank. Run it to as close to empty as you can and see if it still sags, either way get add-a-leafs as they will get rid of the lean.
 






On my 96 Explore the gas tank sits right over the left rear wheel so it always leans toward the drivers side.
 






Mine has been leaning to the passenger side for a long time. I finally figured out what it was last week when I noticed the drivers side spring perch in the rear for the soa is broken. Check it out
 






Just have a custom spacer made to make up for the lean that will help put it like if you where put a lifting and lower block or i heard people putting there driver side leaf's on the passenger side and passenger side on the driver side sence the driver side are weaker becaus eof the gas tank on that side and the driver is on that side nomader what.

Your know what funny mine's lean's to but i have not gotten around to do it. But to be honset i am waiting for that new rcd 6" 2wd lift to come out because when it does that lift is going on my Explorer that lift is rad i can't wait.
 






O yeah i forgot i have mine lifted with add a leaf's in that back it did not help any thing it still lean's that all the add a leaf is doing is lifting the X more then what you allready have so if your x lean when stock it is still going to lean when you put the add a leaf on. Maybe and this would be pretty stupid if you just put one add a leaf on the driver side and none on the pass but i rather just get a little spacer to make up for that lose of lift on one side.
