Will a Superlift 4" suspension lift work in a 2002 Sport?

[Rox26]

I recently rolled and totaled my 2001 Sport, and I am now in the market for another Sport. Right now I am looking at a 2002 Sport that is within my price range, and I want to put in a Superlift 4" lift into it after I get it. Their website states that the K494 lift kit only fits 1996-2001 Sports but I am relatively positive that there isn't much different if anything different about the 2002 and 2003 Sports suspension that would prevent the kit from working. I may be completely wrong about all of this information and please enlighten me if that is true because that is what I am asking for.

I was thinking about doing that, but I figured asking you guys first because I thought people would know, and they are closed right now.

your looking for these under there,,

I know exactly what you're talking about; I put a shackles lift in my old explorer and I had to really turn up my torsion settings to make it even. I really cant see what the car looks like because I am viewing it online.
This is the car I am looking at if anyone would like to take a better look:

it fits that one for sure,,,

That's what I thought, I just wanted some clarification before I pulled the trigger. It just confused me that they wouldn't advertise that the kit fit those two years after.

if you look in the one picture of the front end cut off just behind the front wheel you can see the t bar in the picture in the wheelwell,

Superlift makes the kit, not the Explorer, but they don't always know exact models, and specs to a t ,,

I saw that bar and thought for a fact it was the torsion bar, thanks for the help!

I have installed that lift kit,
it's not hard, just time consuming,

make a weekend out of it,, with some friends like i did,, and enjoy,

I do know there is a difference in the spindles in some models.

The superlift spindles (knuckles) will be drilled for both brake caliper positions.

You "could" get a set of larger sport trac rotors and have better brakes very easily while you are at it.
