ranger to explorer lift

venom97 · Dec 5, 2009

well ive found a black 92 explorer sport which ive wanted since before i bought my truck. ive put the 5.5 superlift on my ranger and was wondering what all id need to do to get the explorer sitting level in the back with my front lift off the ranger. i know the soa swap but what all is involved and need to buy. seems to be cheaper to go this route than buy a lift specific for the explorer. i know the fronts are the same as my 91 4.0 with the dana 35. thanks for the help guys.

The SOA gives around 5" lift. You need new spring perches and shock mounts welded to the axle. Its very easy.

I believe the ranger lifts are the same as explorers and if you do the SOA you should be able to transfer your ranger lift to the back too i believe.

No Rangers are "spring over" and Explorers "spring under"

A Ranger lift is typically just blocks in the back.

An explorer lift in the back is a bit more involved.
But basically ammounts to a flip kit.

Thats why I said AFTER you do the spring over swap it would be the same and could be transfered...

Edit so i meant to say afterwords its the same.
