Nice clean truck ! Howdy neighbor !
Where did you purchase your shackles?
I like your bull bars - same as mine. Looks like these were pretty common for dealer installed bars (I believe they're manik or westin brand)

hey hows things...so those are a dealer item...they came with the truck when i got it...it was from a used car lot...no sticker or anything...as for my shackles i got them from wakefield out here ...my cost was 30...they are pretty thick as i was worried about getting cheap stuff...i can hook ya up if ya need lmk...i am going to check around and see if i can get a winch to fit in there...i found a place to get a 4 inch super lift with a stainless steel skid plate for about 2200 canadian...cheapest i have seen so far...lol

what are tt shackles

I have a 1994 ford explorer xlt 4x4 i keep reading about these tt shackles and something with the torsion bar that will give you 2in of lift. could someone please explain to me how to do this it would be of great use. Thanx

hey db champ here is a link with pics for the shackles...it is really easy... and here is a link for the torsion bar lift... http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47345&highlight=ttt

dbchamp is lucky enough on his 94 truck doesnt have the torsion bar setup, he can do a nice inexpensive lift kit unlike the 95 and up torsion bar setup guys like myself.

 

[jammin4]

thxs for the correction...i am learning lots about mine but don't know much about others...lol...so best for him to do a search for his vehicle for lifts for the front...at least the shackle setup still applies...lol...cheers

hey thanx alot that really helped me out. Does anyone use warrior shackles i found some i want but it doesnt give me a price does anyone know how much they run.

 

[alwaysready]

warriors are about 55.00 i bought some from 4wheelparts.com but had them price match to tellico4x4.com( i think thats the site www) i also bought a 3" recovery strap for the x. i currently have a 4" pro comp strap in the super duty and like it so i got another pro comp one for the x
ETA the warriors are stout pieces, no sheetmetal here.
