Which Model Edelbrocks Fit a Lifted Explorer?

[GJarrett]

For a 2.5"-4" lifted Explorer, which model/part number of Edelbrock IAS shocks fit? OR alternatively, what other vehicle might fit the same size, so I could go into the parts store and say I need some Edelbrocks for a (fill in the blank) truck and that shock will work?

Thanks!

Taken from the late Dr. Jack Lobdell's write-up:

"Edelbrock didn't make the IAS for a lifted Explorer (and say they won't anytime soon), but they do now for a 4" lifted F150 truck. I asked many questions and didn't get the answers I wanted, was told they wouldn't work, wouldn't fit, etc. They ARE the right length and strength for a built Explorer and they FIT like a glove. At Interstate speeds or on the trail you can feel the IAS valve nip body roll in the bud and it feels like you are riding on rails! Hit the brake hard and the nose stays even! I even thought I would have to drill out the mount hole a little bigger. Nope, the original Explorer mounting bolt was smaller than the hole!"

Brian,
Many thanks! I probably read that a year ago and don't even remember it. Man, the help we get around here is priceless.

Thanx again!

No problem, Gerald. In fact, I'll let you in on something - I'm secretly memorizing the entire website so I can help out more in situations like this... Dead Link Removed kidding of course.

Keep in mind that this answer comes from a 0"-lift Explorer owner. Considering Dr. Jack's rig was lifted 4", I'm guessing 4". Also guessing that anything over 4 would be pushing it. Perhaps Rick H. could enlighten us with anything that Dr. Jack shared with him about this subject?
