Photos Show off your LIFTED 2nd GEN

[Alecdruiz]

I hope you do an SAS when you go bigger

Hey what’s up I have my own Ford Explorer

I own a 2002Ford Explorer Sport (2door) and is 2wd .

I am planning on lifting it with a spindle lift and TT for 6” in the front and doing a SOA conversion with shackles in the back. Do you think I am on the right track??

At the end of the day I want a 5”-6” lift. NO BODY LIFT though. And to be able to fit 33s or 34s tires under the car it’s spacers for a wider stance for off road and camping.

This is my old 96, it's been sold. Now I have a 99 5.0 AWD Moutaineer, I'm going to build.

My explorer at the moment is Sprig under axle Ford 8.8 all stock. And torsion bar up front.

At the end of the day I want a 5”-6” lift. NO BODY LIFT though. And to be able to fit 33s or 34s tires under the car it’s spacers for a wider stance for off road and camping.

What do I need to do to get my lift.?

 

[Alecdruiz]

Just a torsion twist and some shackles for now. The future holds more but gathering parts. It will need some good amount of trimming to work the way I want. Those are 36x13.50x 17.

Thanks, the paint on it is in pretty good condition. Right after we purchased it I repaired the rotted out rocker panels & installed new side steps from a regular cab Ranger since the factory Explorer ones were also rotted out.

Yeah I have a lot of Body cancer in the rockers. I will have to get the book out to get the body work on her done. Yes I will be using her for out on the trails but I like my rig being nice looking lady on the trail.

 

[WormsExplorer]

Well here she is with new shoes. Just got Nankang Mud stars. Now to get her on the trails again.

Here's a little before and after.. had come long ways in two years. Pretty much everything I thought was a far fetched idea in the beginning is now done to this thing. Full width d44 swap, full width 8.8, 4.88 gears, roll cage,1350/1354 doubler, just finished boat sides tonight (need to put on the plate steel still for the sides) and the dual shifters for the cases, full hydro steering, front axle stretched 6", Spartan locker in the front, welded rear.

 

[2TimingTom]

Full hydro steering? Which engine? What pump?

 

[WormsExplorer]

Here is a before and after of my explorer. She's a 97 auto 4.0 ohv. A lot done to her to get her to this point.

Here she is now as of tonight.

Can't wait to get her completed and out on the trails. She is a lot closer now.

4.0 ohv stock pump.. stock pump could be beefed up but it works good surprisingly

 

[TKZ]

That looks good, I like the way it sits
