What drop springs would be the best for a 93 4x4 limited

1shot i have 2 questions for ya. 1. is your paint original? 2. do you have any more pics of your bumper valance? I'm curious as to what you did to it.

2 Questions answered

1. Paint is original, allthough it is starting to age so a re-coat is due.
Paint Code is: YN = Silver Metallic

2. I will hunt down some more pictures for you if you want but it was quite simple. There was no Limited valances around when I was doing this so I took some of the black Garden edging available at Home Depot etc. and rivetted it onto the original little one.

With the rolled edge at the bottom, I was able to insert a steel rod which I bent into shape so the corners would hold true after I heated them up to mold the curve.

I am currently working on a more seamless look by fiberglas'n up a duplicate that will be paintable. She has been put to bed for the winter already, and I have a long list of TODO's I want to get done for next Spring. Half of those I already have the parts for - its just a matter of time...

Oh and Brian if that is about mine - I thank you...

shopping for drop kits and i found out that i can use the coil springs from a 1994 ranger on my explorer (1993) is that correct? or do i need anything else?i know i need to do a block in the back im just trying to find out what i need so far

what im looking to order from what i gather
2 in drop coil Beltech
4 shocks front and rear

im trying to fit 18*9.5 +6 offset 225/40/18
only reason is because my gen 1 needs tie rods spindles bearings shocks and tires are bad because of alignment i want a nice drop nothing crazy
