Superlift has a 4" suspension lift. Big bucks though. 2500ish.

There are only 2 suspension lifts made for our generation Explorers. One from Trailmasters and one from Superlift. Everyone says that the Superlift one is stronger and is put together better. Both are pretty expensive and one downside is that the kit lowers the torsion bar supports to get them at their stock angle, which makes them very vurnerable if you're off-roading.

There is also a third option as far as suspension lifts go, the RCD coilover kit, which is a 5" lift and replaces the torsion bars with coilovers. That is a major investment though. Between the 4" superlift and trailmaster lifts, i think the advantage with the superlift kit is that you get knew knuckles, where as with the trailmaster kit you use the stock knuckles with an extension to the ball joint on top. Correct?

Not trying to be a smart ass, but why do you want to lift your truck?
A. Looks only
B. serious off-roading

The answer to this question will enable me to give you the best answer I can give you.

Body lift it then.
You're going to throw away atleast $1300 on a superlift kit, and $400 on a new front driveshaft, with no real suspension improvement.
Just throw a 3" body lift on with 33's.

 

[blackedout01]

does anyone have prices on like a 3in body lift? and with a 3in whats the biggest tires i could fit?
