<-----New....needs help!

[pilotjs1]

Just posting my first message here with the Explorer community. I have had my 1998 Explorer XLT since new, and think it is finally time to make some changes. Although not a 4x4 I would like to get it up off the ground a little. Is there a lift kit for my 4x2 that will allow me a noticeable size change in my tires? I'm new guys and gals so be nice, no jokes about the sad little 4x2. She does have a hot little 5.0 thanks to headers, exhaust upgrade, intake, and ignition. Any info you can offer would be awesome. Thanks

Hi, welcome to the forums, about your 2WD do a search for a 3" lifted spindle

I would reccomend the spindle lift first, and if thats not enough, you can search for 3" BL for a 2nd Gen. You have to modify a ranger BL to make it work,

Welcome to this forum! There are many threads about lifts on this forum.

If your just wanting to get a larger tire, search for Torson Twist and shakles.

Thanks for the info. I have located the spindles mentioned. If they are the ones you are talking about than they, like the BL, are for a Ranger? One more thing. Does anyone know anything, good/bad about the TransGo shift kit for my 1998 5.0 Automatic Explorer
