Can some people post their pics of their 91-94 Explorer with shackles and coild spacer lift. I want to see if it is what I want to get a modest 2-2.5" lift. I have seen 4" lift coils also but don't know what I would do with the rearend.

Here's my wife's Ex that I mentioned in your other thread. It's not spacers and shackles, it's 2 1/2" coils and double addaleaf. But it's a Sport on 31's like your, so I figured it'' help a little. I'm putting in shackles soon, the rear's to low. It looks lower than it is in the pic, though.

Sorry for the "butt in", but, just out of curiousity........can you use longer coils in combination with coil spacers? I was just wondering

robb... no... welll you can, but your alignment will be screwed and geometry of suspension will be jacked... if over 2", drop brackets of some sort are needed
 






Thanks Jim! That is what I was thinking.

btw: thanks for the pic! I have never seen your truck in "pre-roll" condition
 






My 2 1/2" coils were used on my Ranger for 5 years first, so they must be somewhat sagged. Put 'em in the Ex with an otherwise stock suspension, and they had to use the highest degree camber bushings available to get it almost to alignment specs. (It's 1 degree off)
 






Heres mine,also with 2" body lift and 31,s

Yea AlaskanJack, I like the way she sits, could likely get 32s but with the 31s theres lots of room for movement.

P.S. Would have answered sooner but spending way too much time on the snowmobile boards.
