lifting a 94 2wd

[Travis91]

i have a 1994 ford explorer 2 wheel drive 5 speed. its got over 312,000 miles. and i plan on getting the motor rebuild and doing some work to it. and i would like to lift it and be able to fit some 32s or 33s under it.. i do wheel it some as it is but could really use some more ground clearance. so whats a good way to get this with as little body lift as possible? and not breaking the bank(theres not much there to break)

well if you dont wanna break the bank, then the body lift is the way to go, since they are cheap.
otherwise, shackles in the rear, and coil block up front, for about 2 inches of lift.

btw over 300k miles! congrats! thats a ton, how many have you put on?

 

[Travis91]

not many. it was my grandpas car before mine. so i rode passanger lol.. i need to get a new motor tho. this one is running really rough..

It may just need a little seafoam

Or maybe something else. :scratch:

Does the CEL come on?

If it's running rough trying checking your plugs/wires. Might be old and fouled.

As for lifts, I personally hate body lifts, I hate seeing the frame sticking out the bottom. So here are a few links I think you'll be interested in. While not super cheap, they aren't a 500 dollar lift kit.
