As I said in my intro I'm planning to put my custom 47 ford pickup on my recently acquired 91 Explorer 4x4 chassis. My plan is to build up a fun weekend toy. 35" tires and a nice lift to accommodate. I have already planned to do an axle flip for the rear which I read gets around 5 to 5.5" lift. For the front Ive seen the 4" lift kits but that might leave a bit of rake to the overall look. I've seen the 5.5 lift but couldn't find a picture to how the setup works. Is it 5.5 lift springs or does it use the 4" with a spacer? I like the level look rather than the back sitting higher. I don't intend to haul a trailer with this truck. Also Ive been keeping an eye on the local ads looking for wheels and tires. What backspacing should I be looking for to clear 33x12.5 from the suspension? And the 91 has a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern right? Thanks in advance, Sorry for all the questions.
