Question On Parts for 4" Lift

[Asugolf14]

I am looking at buying 4" Lift brackets and longer coil springs for $250, but I would like to know a couple things: First, is this a good deal (Skyjacker Parts), Second, what else will I need to complete the lift and how much will it cost?? Thanks

You will need TTB drop brackets, springs, radius arm drop brackets, extended pitman arm, longer shocks, and that's just the front.

The rear can be lifted with longer springs, SOA, add-a-leafs, shackels, etc. If you do a SOA you can re-use the stock length shocks but you'll end up with 5-6 inches lift overall...

How much would all of that cost?? Thanks

 

[CHH777]

Depends. How much lift are you trying to get?

I am not sure. I guess probably the 4 inches, since that is what the lift brackets are. Why, what are my other options and do they cost more or less $$?? Thanks

Well, for 91-94 Explorers there's quite a selection of suspension lifts available:

-For 1.5-2" lift there's coil spacers and Warrior shackles, ~$100. No new shocks needed.

-2" SkyJacker Lift which includes longer coil springs and add-a-leafs, ~$200. No new shocks needed.

-The 2.5" James Duff lift consists of TTB drop brackets, radius arm drop brackets, coil springs, add-a-leafs and 4 shocks, ~$400. Longer radius arms are available for $300 more. You may need longer brake lines.

-SuperLift 4" has TTB drop brackets, radius arm drop brackets, coil springs, new rear leaf springs and a dropped pitman arm, ~$800. Longer radius arms are available for ~$400 more. You will need longer brake lines and shocks.

-SuperLift 5.5" has TTB drop brackets, radius arm drop brackets, coil springs, rear SOA kit and a dropped pitman arm, ~$600. Longer radius arms are available for ~$400 more. You will need longer brake lines and shocks.

-SkyJacker 6" lift is rumored to be discontinued.

Then there's always body lifts. If you ONLY want to fit bigger tires and raise the truck a bit this may be your best bet. You also can mix a 2" suspension. and 2" body lift for 4".

I recommend figuring out what you want to do with the truck and asking lots of questions before spending one dime. Hope this helps...

Ok, thanks for the info. Yeah, I already did a body lift, I am just looking at doing a suspension lift for cheap, so I am probably going to get a 2" lift, but I just saw that the 4" lift brackets and longer coil springs were for sale, and I was not sure what all was needed for a lift, so I figured I would just check and see how much more I would have had to spend to complete the lift, but it sounds pretty expensive, so I am probably just gonna stick with the 2" lift. Thanks again for the info!
