why does my explorer sit higher than others?

[tom_mcmullen006]

I cant figure it out. My suspension looks stock, it has a leveling kit on it and it looks like the only thing not original are the mountain ryder shocks that are on it. I have 29 inch tires on 15 inch factory wheels. anyone have any possible ideas?

Well if it has a leveling kit on it, it will be higher than stock Explorers...

[tom_mcmullen006]

no, not a bad thing. Just couldnt figure it out. if/when i put a lift on it, the lift wont a f fect the leveling kit will it?

 

[FROADER]

If/When you put a lift kit on it, you might want to take the leveling kit out. What leveling kit is in it?

 

[tom_mcmullen006]

i dunno, the people i bought it from put it in or had it put in. Which is better body lift or suspension lift?

suspension lift is better but a lot more expensive.

 

[tom_mcmullen006]

ive heard and read about people putting f 150 suspension on their explorers. Is that a cheaper route to go?

 

[XLT]

If you mean f150 spacers with shackles then yes. Suspension lift is going to run probably $1000+ easily. A body lift is about $180. F150 route is probably cheaper then the body lift but the gains might be around 2 inches.
