My '92 XLT 4x4 Lift

[chspyder]

Hello To All,
I am a newbie, posting my first message

I have owned a factory 1992 Ford Explorer for 3 years when about 10 days ago, on thanksgiveing to be exact I was looking for a new truck and a friend said that I could save 13,000$ and just lift my Exp, So I did just that I went around looking for quotes of places doing it for me thay wanted 2,000 for the lift then more like 75p/h more to put it on, so I went online and bought a 5.5in Superlift and Bought 33" Mastercraft A/Ts and went to town, so far I have installed the front lift only because the back is still in shipping, but I am recording all in my webpage for all to see how I did it and help them Do It Yourselfers !

Looks good man...What else did you have to buy for that lift to make it work? 650 for a 5.5" lift is pretty good, but is it complete?

Lift Extras

Hello again,

My Lift had no extras on it, except the usual: Tires, Rims, Brake Lines, Steering Stabilizer, And New Radius Arm Bushines.
I might shim the drive shaft, I have a bullish bumpy feel, but it isnt there Offroad, so I think that it might be the tires setteling. Anybody Have Any Ideas?

I Still Rub Also! The tire is turned about a hare and my tires rub when I hit a bump on my side steps!

Justin,

The sawzall is our friend. Also, you just might have to remove your tupperware.

Very illustrative your webpage, i liked it. For future references now is on my bookmarks.

The tire rubs because you got a 10" wide wheel. So like Char said just grab the sawzall and go to town. Looks good. Congrats! I have the same truck, with a 4" lift and 35s.
