So I tried the TT and only got about an inch or so of drop. Not satisfied, I want more. Going to attempt the torsion key method but on my wait I found these:

Has anyone had any experience with them? I'm going to call to check if they fit the Ford Explorer SPORT but this looks like it can help me achieve the drop I want on my sport. Any testimonies on the product? :D

You might check to see if the frame is resting on the bumpstops. Sometimes they need shaved a bit-

I guess I do feel some kind of binding when I turn, I'll give it a check. How much should I shave if need be? Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, just read your profile on the mountaineer, that is one sick machine. I'll shave my bumpstops an inch if need be. Thanks!!

These will not fit a '03 Sport, these are for a 4dr NOT a 2dr. The 2DR has torsion bars NOT coil springs.

Thanks for the input! Glad I didn't just throw 3 bills in the garbage lol.
 






So I checked the bumpstops, I got about 3/4" of space left. I'm going to try the torsion key flip and see what I can get with that.
