The cheapest, most creative lift for 1st Gen.

should i get shocks for 4 in lift? right now the back is lower than the front and the front only has coil spacers.

 

[Webster3]

Ooo, that's a good question, so with the AAL and the Coil Spacers my stock shocks are ok right?

2 inch lift will be okay with stock shocks, 3 inch or more you will need longer shocks, as well as longer front brake lines.

Can you take rear leaf springs out of a late 80s early 90s F150?

 

[BTRs X]

Is the front suspension of the early 8?-92 Rangers the same as a 92 Explorer? Thanks.

[Blackcobrajay]

Agreed!

My cheap yet awesome suspension lift? Try this on for size ladies.

1980's-90's TTB F150 front coil springs. This gives you about 2.5" of lift and is the maximum you can do and still get your truck aligned.

For the rear end take your explorer leaf springs and take the leaf pack apart, leaving only the main explorer leaf spring. Get the leaf springs off of an 80's-90's F150 with a towing package (You'll know because it will have 5 leafs in the leaf spring pack). Take the F150 pack apart too. Now bolt the F150 leafs to the explorer main leaf. Build yourself some longer shackles with bar steel and 9/16" grade 8 bolts.

And you've got yourself a 3" lift for junkyard prices. Enjoy.

Thanks for askin the ??? tho it helped me

Frock crawling is dangerous. Consult your local indecency laws

So with the coil spacers and shackles is chamber going to be a issue? Or is that only if you lift too much.?
