hi everyone, im new to this. I have a 97 5.0l explorer. i having trouble finding anyone who makes a lift for it. as of right now i cranked down my torsion bars and shackeld the rear but i want more lift than that. i have been looking into body lifts but i really would like a suspension lift. the truck is a daily driver and a weekend wheeler not a hard core off roader. it is a awd i am considering the t-case swap so i have hi low just not sure wear to go from here i would like to have a 33x12.5 under it. please let me know what you guys think.

Welcome To Explorer Forum! Always a good idea to search the site. Here is a link to show you a variety of different lifts on 2nd gens. The body lift with 33's isn't bad and alot on here have done it and take theirs wheeling. Superlift makes a suspension lift for our trucks. You can convert yours to regular 4wd if you really wanted.
 






thanks for the info i will try superlift, and as far as making mine a 4wd is it really worth it or will the awd t-case hold up to some mild wheeling? i know from experiance the grand cheerokee awd t-case is junk. and where should i look for for snorkel kits?

thank again
 






Most guys like having the 4wd case because you have that option to have a regular 50/50 split for traction and have the low gear, but you'd have to read up on that swap. And if you want a snorkel you're going to have to make your own but there are write-ups on that here too.
