Lifting

[Doc913]

I've read a lot of the forums and researched to lift my 97 explorer Eddie bauer edition. I know the TT rule is no more than 2" due to CV joint issues. But I'm looking for about 3" up front and would like to know if anyone could suggest aftermarket cv joints, control arms, or anything to extend the life with a 3" TT (if I get that much). Also, shock spacers up front, for an extra inch with a 2" TT, if that can save my cv joints?

Thank you.

Forget everything you're trying to do if you want more than 2" suspension lift. The only way to do this right is to get the 4" Superlift. On my 96 I have a 3" overall lift, 1.5 suspension and 1.5 from my 32's but if you want a 3" TT it's not going to happen.

Go to http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=97 and look at the two coilover threads that are in the stickies.

Do you have a photo, so I have an idea of what I am to expect?

Here's the best I have at the moment.
