Walk me through doing a 4 inch lift.

[Nadams01]

Hi all I know lifting is quite the popular discussion here, but I'm kinda looking for a detailed guide or things to watch out for. I got a 91 ex that I finay got to be reliable and runs great (granted 1 new motor and a built a4ld later) but I'm really looking forward to doing a lift. Im looking at the james duff 3 inch ttb lift. It comes with radius arms and axle beam drop brackets and lift shackles for the rear. I will be picking up new leafs for the rear. Do I need extended brake hoses? Do I need sway bar drop brackets? I'm a apprentice technician so I have power tools and a lift at my disposal I just want to make sure I got everything I need and every challenge prepared for before I tear her apart.

Give Duff a call. They will be able to tell you for certain what extras you may need.

Here is some info about installing a Duff 2.5" lift that may be helpful:

Random Ramblings after Installing 2.5" JD lift

I just finished Installing a James Duff 2.5" lift in my 92 Explorer XLT. This message is just ramblings of what I noticed about the kit. First item I noticed... unfortunately is... Don't bother following the instructions for the front. Work is so much easier if you leave the springs off...
