new guy with lots of questions

just wanted to say I love this site. just found it a couple days ago w/ a goole search for 2000 ford explorer upgrades. I have had this beast for about 3 years now and I am starting to have a few problems at only 122K on the clock. I have had several rangers go well into the 200k mark with little or no problems. any advice on rear end sag, or noisy front end while on an incline in 4wd would help. Also, specs on wheel well height would be great. mine measure from the ground to the bottom of wheel well lip 34.5" in front and 32.25" in rear. no wonder it looks like i'm haulin' a load. Again, GREAT JOB ON THIS FORUM

Welcome aboard. We have a lot of information to give - however, most of it has already been discussed before. Your rear end sag is a common issue. Most likely you'll need an add-a-leaf or shackles to correct your problem (do a search to find out more). Search around about the noise, and same with the height. I have some measurements of my Explorer when it was stock and lifted on page 4 (I believe) of my cardomain site. Check it out.

thanks for the info. i searched around for a couple days before asking. i saw the info on the commonality of the sag, but couldn't find out what the factory height was. i'll check your cardomain info though. by the way, thanks for the welcome
