lifting 2" on rear..what do i need to do?

[noxen]

This is what I'm getting:

Polyurethane coil spring spacer lift kit. Lift the front of your 4WD Ford Bronco II, Ranger, Explorer, F-150 or Bronco 2 inches with this kit!.


It's for 2" but only the front and was wonderin what I should do to lift the rear 2" also. I'm new to this board also and am glad to have found it, thanks for any replies!

[noxen]

[88vert]

www.desertrat.com or you can buy the cheaper ones at autozone they are about 50 plus shipping from the rat

 

[88vert]

Do a search on warrior shackles there is lots of info on them

noxen,
you need to call 4wheelparts. Part # WAR153. They're really easy to install, it's 4 bolts. You need a few jackstands, a good jack, and a good ratchet set. I've outlined how to install them before on this site, try the search feature.

i have, couldnt really find much info i needed

Jack up one side at a time using the frame just ahead of the front leaf spring perches. Also support the rear diff and the center of the leaf spring. Then undo the bolts holding the shackle on, being careful to not let the leaf spring (with the axle) fall too much. Then just put on the new shackle. Repeat for the other side.

Really easy, just the bolts may be a bit stubborn. Good luck!

Shackles in the rear normally result in more lift and a better ride in the rear than add-a-leafs. Also, I hate online auctions. Personally, I'd use the Ford spacer up front and the Warrior shackles in the rear. Oh, and the shackles are a much easier install than leafs.

lol how come u hate online auctions? if it doesnt work out in the rear ill get shackles..also is it practical to get bigger tires on the stock rims? i love the stock rims on it and was wonderin how much more expensive itd be to get 31" tires or whatever. thanks for the reply alec, ur x is sick!

Wish I got more lift from the rear now though. Am trying to find shackles for 1 inch more.

 

[noxen]
