Hi every one
I done my lift using a combination of Truxxx leveling kit (strut spacers) #102010 and Rancho QuickLift Loaded
Truxxx leveling kit #102010 (Advertised Lift: front 2.5"/Rear 1.25")
here are the front spacers
and here are the rear spaers
Here is the Truxxx installation Guide:

There is 2 types of Rancho QuickLift for the Explorer 4th Gen.
QuickLift (Struts only)
Advertised Front Lift 1.5" with 4.73" Travel RS999755
Advertised Rear Lift 1.25" with 5.92" Travel RS999756

And QuickLift Loaded (Pre-assembled with coil spring and upper mount)

Left Side RS999939
Right Side RS999924
Advertised Rear Lift 1.00" with 5.92" Travel

just one thing, if you are installing Truxxx with Rancho QuickLift Loaded
front you need to press the coil springs and rotate the mounts 180 degree so the control knob faces the front of the truck like in this photos
The total life with 32" tires (265/70R17) after the spring coils settled is only 3.8" compared to stock, given that tires contributing with 1" lift, we can see that Rancho QuickLift Loaded is contributing only 0.3" lift (maybe this happened due to the extra pre-loading caused by the Truxxx Spacers)
The buity of this combination, is that gives you the ground clearance without sacrefing stability by giving the ability to choose the stiffness of the struts according to your requirements
High Way
front: 7
rear: 4
Sporty Driving (to minimize body roll and stabilize the truck better than stock but the ride is kinda harsh)
front: 9
rear: 7
Towing and Hauling
front: 7
rear: 9
Rock Crawling
front: 4
rear: 4
In addition, Rancho Struts have more than 1" travel compared to Ford OEM Struts which leads to more wheels articulations and better off-road performance
Front Rancho Quick Lift Loaded compared with Stock
Rear Rancho Quick Lift Loaded compared with Stock
Here are Photos of the tuck compared to stock and how it flexes
That's all guys and thanks for passing by
