97 FORD EXPLORER 4.0 4x4
I have a 97 xlt 4x4 and I cranked the bars and still need a alignment do I need the camber shim kits for the alignment and next question is with the warrior 153 shackles do the bolts that come with them fit work? I see people getting bolts for them so I wasn't sure thanks in advance

Yes, you will need the shim kit.

It's been a while, but I seem to remember using the bolts that came with the warriors.
 






FYI for the OP. Yes, alignment should be checked any time the torsion bolts are adjusted, up or down. As a general rule, about .75 degrees of adjustment are needed for EACH inch of height change. The Moog, Ingalls, NAPA, etc. kits all have varying degrees of adjustment and are sold per side, two kits are usually needed. Also, many have cut the drivers side rear camber bolt for removal, I found that carefully tweaking the hard fuel lines for clearance was adequate for R&R. Linked tutorials below, just in case you missed them. GL
