Lifting my 91 Explorer

[MOexplorer4x4]

If my leaf springs in the rear are under the axle and i do not want to go as high as it would put me if flipped them could i just buy like a 4in. lift and just put the leafs on top instead of bottom when i install the lift kit?

measuring my axle for when I do my SAS on the front end my rear spring flip would net me 5" of lift putting them on top of the axle instead of under the axle.

so you may be able to measure how thick your axle is and determine how much lift you will gain on the rear end just by doing the spring flip.

i know that it comes out around 5in. but i only want 4in. of lift. so couldnt i order the complete lift kit and just replace the leaf springs with the 4in lift ones and be ok????

If you want 4" then use the lift springs and stay spring under axle. If you want 5" use the stock springs and swap them over the axle.
