so i been playn around with different ways to put a 4" lift on a 97 explorer. and i know the norm is shackles and a TT or a strait kit. im lucky enough to be right across town from a 4WP store so i wont have to pay for shippn. im thinkin about gettn a 4" lifted leaf pack and a 4" lift radius arm kit. unfortunately im not familiar yet with lifting these kinds of smaller vehicles. am i missin anything? here are the links to the kits with a parts list attached to each.

leaf packs fit,

the radius arms don't,

97 is torsion bar front, only lift left is the Superlift and it ain't cheap,,
 






damn... yeh. the cheapest ive found the superlifts are 2 grand and thats just for the kit and unless i wana be outa commission for a week ima have to pay somebody bout 6-800 in labor...
