It looks about the same... was the AAL & Warrior shackles in the back in the before picture?
If you do decide not to use the front setup, let me know, I might be interested. And I'm local so you wouldn't have to deal with shipping it.
I like the way it looks with just the springs. Did you keep the body lift or go back to stock?
With the torsion bars cranked up that high, doesn't that increase the effective spring rate? So the front end feels like it clunks and bangs over every little bump and crack in the road. Coilovers would give you full use of the spring and make the ride much more pleasant.
And if you did use the spindles, it would put your CVs at a better angle and give you more useful travel.

Dude...
Looks good man. Your Explorer was one that I always looked to in my early days with mine.
It seems like everybody is jumping back into their Explorers this year.. Good to see you back up!
If it makes you feel any better Jason, I finally decided to drop the tranny and replace my flywheel after 3 years last weekend.
Super lift must have went through a lot of changes, it doesn't look to be built as clean as they use too, I didn't have to modify my stock torsion bar bracket cover like that......
MATT! Are you subscribed to this thread?! Back from the dead, I love it!
Also, is that a good "dude" or a bad "dude"...? Hahahaha.
Hell yeah I am man. Just because it's been over a decade doesn't mean I don't like checking up on old friends!
It's a good "dude". Happy to see she's still going stong. Pretty sure my Ex is rotting in a yard by now.

Thanks man! It's never finished, haha.
Isn't it wild how days slip into weeks, months, and years? Life is flying man. Glad I'm in good company.
Honestly it must have been some sort of parts mixup. Others have gotten the correct curved brackets. Didn't happen for me. I guess that's what happens when you order a kit backordered for 6 months and it shows up piecemeal.
Hey, in the unlikely event your notched out brackets fail, I've got 2 sets of those I can send you.
Looks awesome though, can't wait to see some more pictures of it getting down and dirty!
Last time I talked to the guy at Superlift when I swapped my explorer leafs for wagoneer leafs he told me a lot of stuff would be hard to get they were changing manufacturing from Turkey to China or something.
