1994 Explorer XLT
Hello I am a new owner of a lifted ford explorer but I am unaware of what size lift is on it. I was wondering if anyone with a stock 1994 explorer xlt would be able to provide measurement from the middle of the hub to the bottom of the fender so I can determine what size lift I have. Thanks.

Pics of drop brackets, coils, pitman arm, shackles or springs? Just finished a 5.5" lift myself, with 4" parts, spacers and an SOA...pics would help us help you.
 






Mine is stock and from the middle of the hub to the fender, is about 19 3/4 inches.

Hope that helps! And welcome to the forum!

OK thanks, I measured 25" in front and 24.5" in the rear, I will take some pictures today of the lift and to maybe see if I can get an ID on the brand if possible

It looks like someone did a spring over axle lift and longer coils in front. Stock height can vary greatly with the age of these trucks, but a SOA generally gives you 5-5.5". It looks like your tie rods are at a bit of an extreme angle.
 






Ditto...I got about 5" with my SOA (my rear springs sag a bit). Looks like it was pretty well done, other than that steering arm...Skyjacker FA600 will take care of that and get rid of your bump steer. Brand wise, the rear would be custom, and I can't say I've seen a drop bracket like the one for your passenger side beam...

Looks like a 5.5 superlift
