2006 Explorer XLT
Hi

Does anyone know of a kit (or way) for the 2006 Explorer to stiffen up the back end so it can handle 7 people in the car and a camper without looking like the Space shuttle taking off?

Have been searching the web and it seams there is nothing out there.

Would prefer to go with air adjustable suspension "bags" to be able to stiffen things up when needed.

Regards

Jon

I don't think you're going to find anything like that as a kit off the shelf, best bet is to go to a shop that does airbag suspension work in your area and see if they can put something together for you.
 






airbagit.com Call their customer service line they have air bag struts that you can use. Either3" drop level or raise. They make them to fit the X's. Called about a year ago to custom drop my x but decided aginst it since i didnt have the cash at the time. You will re-use the top strut mount and the bottom bolts right up.

Full kits range from 2000 to 2500 and just the strut with the schraeder one way valve around 850 for all 4.
 






thanks for the info, sent them a email and will call them today.
