i cut an access hole in the floorboard to gain access to the sending unit without having to drop the tank.the tank is 3/4 full.all the lines i can blow through.but i hooked my mechanical pump back up and its doing fine.i guess the electric one was just trash.

Unless the lift kit you have was for a TTB front end with a 4.0, between the winch/bumper and heavier motor you won't get 4" of lift.

Cool, then you should be good to go. The supercabs were known for getting a little less lift because of the weight of cab also. So a 4" kit might be a half inch to inch lower than a regular cab with the same motors. Would imagine the effect will be the same in an explorer. Good thing is you can just do a spring over axle set up in the rear and get plenty of lift for the rear. You might even need to swap your 4" springs for 6" to even it out. Keep us posted.
