PM Froader. I think he knows a guy at RCD and can maybe get a hookup.

Turns out that it isn't me that knows someone. Check these links though, they should help.

Also there's a guy on e-bay that sells RCD kits he quoted me $2025 for it before I decided to go with the Superlift. Service@WhatMovesYou.com

What are my opions on the rear lift? What do you need to do a SOA?

As far as I know, you just need to weld on new spring perches and shock mounts. I think that someone on here found some that were bolt-ons, but I don't remember who it was.

I think the bolt on kit is a Superlift kit for an older X, but I'm not 100% on that. They also ended up getting them welded on anyway, so you might as well just get some generic perches welded on. I don't remember what they did for the shocks though.

I have noticed that the 5" coilover kit is for the '98-'02 ranger. If I buy this will I need to do anything special to fit on my X?

Look through those 2 threads I posted. All the info is in there.

Does anyone have the part #'s for these two parts. I'm horrible at finding stuff on the internet.

Will any of those fit or is there a specific one that I'm missing?

not totally for sure, but If I remember right, the 8.8 measures out to something like 3.25" in diameter. So, a spring perch from an axle of much larger or smaller size (i.e. d60 and such) prob wont fit. You also need to get a perch wide enough to fit your springs, so make sure you know the width and size of your leaf packs.

"this RCD 5" lift is designed to work with manual or electronic front hub equipped vehicles only. This 5" RCD Ranger lift is not designed to work with pulse vacuum hub equipped vehicles."

I found this on performancelifts.com; and I was wondering will this kit work with a Automatic '97 ford explorer???
