torsion bar key question

[DJRockit69]

I've been looking for a leveling kit for my front end on my 96 Explorer 4door V8 Awd and I can't find one or even torion bar keys I have found this http://m.summitracing.com/parts/tfy-22907 now will that work on my 96? Even tho it says its for 98 and up? If not does anyone know of a kit or torsion bar keys that will allow 3inch of lift on the front? And I have don't my research on this matter I know that 2 or more inches will allow for premature CV failure. Now this is what I have done so far I've got shock extensions and I have made a 3 inch lowering brackets for my front diff. Consideing welding is my profession I just need they torsion bar keys now.

I just did a google search, on exactly what your asking for and.....

came up with over 200 pages on the matter, and 1000 images.

hope this helps

95-97 explorers had a different arrangement for the torsion key than the later models, at least on the frame side. I am not sure if the key itself is the same.

Ditto masospaghetti. 1995-97 has the Kevlar pad.

Whoa!
Seriously, you need a lot more than that. Lowering the front diff will change the cv angle to a point it will fight the angle of the control arms and tie rods (steering).

Something has got to give, and it will be the tires toeing in and out with every bump in the road.

You need to lower the control arm(s) and steering connection point. You cannot get around a superlift kit for what you are trying to accomplish.

Well, you can but you will get around it by riding in a coffin. --
