Lift Kit Information For A 96 Explorer XLT V6

[RatAttack1717]

I've been looking into what all i would need in order to gain another at least 2-4 inches of ground clearance from the stock level. I don't want a body lift, I'd like to lift it completely and put some 32-33's on it so hopefully I won't have to be worried about getting stuck on beginner level trails lol. Any help on where to find the cheapest yet best method and parts would be awesome!

Hi, best way I think, its turn torsion bar at front and push up leaf spring and get longer leaf spring links. And cut some exess metal from front fenders. )

Torsion twist for dummies! (pics included)

Are you a mechanical dummy like me? Even if you're not, I'll help you through the "torsion twist" procedure. What is it? Well a torsion twist is basically a lifting of the front suspension via the tightening of the torsion screw. ____________________________________________...

33's on my Explorer with shackles & torsion twist

Trimmed about 1" from the rear part of the front fender. Wasn't necessary, but figured I would rather be safe. No rubbing so far.
