Newbie lift question.

[Rkallio1969]

I plan on doing a 2 inch torsion lift in front and a 2 inch shackle lift in the rear. Do I need any parts other than the shackles for the rear such as shock extenders etc? I have a 2005 explorer sport trac slt 4x4. I am not doing any off roading. I am just looking for some ground clearance for going through the snow.

Nope, you'll be okay with the stock shocks. I would suggest doing an AAL in the rear instead though. Cheaper and adds carrying capacity. Longer shackles will flatten your leaf springs faster than the stock ones. That said I've had shackles for the past 7 years or so and still have positive arch in my springs.
