want to throw in some lift blocks for a quick cheap lift

[t-roy707]

so i wanted to throw in some lifting blocks for a short thrill until i can afford a real lift kit. i have a 94 x but i noticed that the leaf springs are under the rear axle instead of over. what in the heck do i do?

Use the search feature of the board and type in "SOA" - you'll find lots of info.

Note that the Ford-8.8 axle has tubes that are 3.25" outside diameter and most spring perches you'll find are 3.00" outside diameter - so obviously you'll have to take a grinder to the spring perches. I used Mopar perches from Summit Racing - item DCC-4120074 .

Warrior shackles.
F-150 spring seats up front.

Do a search, these are covered in DETAIL on this forum.
Blocks on your rear will lover the truck.
A spring over conversion like IZwack suggested will get you 4.5" of lift, which is too much for your application, it would require a dro pbracket lift kit up front to match. Sounds to me like the shackles and spring seats are what you are looking for.

remember if you have an Explorer question, chances are sombody else has also had the same question, and a search can find your answer without the need to start a new thread.....
