On more thing to add, it looks as though I can almost get away with only buying bolts for P1 and P5 depending how much extra bolt is there. looks like

P1 can go to P2
P4 can go to P3
P5 can go to P4

Wow this could be the cheapest lift on the planet since I've only spent $25 bucks on the lift blocks so far but we will see how it all works out..

Well, what about the lowering brackets for the radiator, ground straps, and such? Are you going to make those as well? I don't think you will need the steering adapter for a 1.5" lift, but any higher and I think you will.

I will add it to the PA853 sticky thread... that way it is there for everyone.

yeah I have all the metal working/welding tools I need and plenty of scraps. So there is really no need to purchase these items. I am guessing with only 1.5" of added lift some of those items may not be needed.

Dude I could drive to St.Louis and kiss you(in a non-gay manly way of course <G>) I don't know why that thread is not a sticky, or why it didn't come up in my searches. I will be at least adding a post to the Body lift sticky for this information. Man I searched this site for 3 days trying to find that info and found nothing.

OK Now I have some work to DO to collect all the parts and move forward

I'll just take a pat on the back, glad to help. By the way it actually was a sticky, just down in the Offroad Tech forums under "Offroad Explorer - Ranger Projects".

That's odd, I wonder why it never came up in my search I tried both google site search and the built in one above on the toolbar.

Funny thing is this thread is the first one that appears now in the google search.

you mean nobody has the stock bolts laying around from a recent (or old) body lift that they can measure the stock length?

Explorer 1997
very front end - 105 mm
second, third, fourth row - 95 mm
very rear end - 140 mm
All are standard metric M12, bolt head 18 mm socket
