question about lifting

[94explorerEB]

Ok, I have a 92 xlt 2wd explorer and was wating to know how much lift would I get from converting the leafs springs to the top of the axle? I'm assuming about 5 inches b/c I have a 98 mazda b4000, with the djm 4/5 drop kit, and the rear was lowered with a flip kit lowering it 5inches.

~ 5"-6".

How bad is the body roll?

If you keep your sway bars, not much more than stock. If you get rid of the sway bars, you'll notice it for sure.

Ok so I can keep the sway bar, good. And about how to lift the front, I've searched and searched and havn't really found a deffinit answer.

Sweet front end here. Fabtech beams and arms.

Thanks I posted a reply, if I can't jump on that one soon enough. What would I need to just lift the front? I'm very new to this, I've mostly been into lowrider trucks but it gets kinda boring just driving on the road all the time. Not to mention the suspenion is way different than my trucks so any help is greatly apreciated.

You could get some drop brackets like that lift I posted.
You could get some custom beams made.
You could get some bent beams. Make sure they are from the 88 and older Rangers. (I would do this as a last resort)
You could check race-dezert.com for parts that will work.
