james duff suspension

[ironcop]

ok guys, i've got a 91 ex sport and i obviously want to lift it and i've looking at kits and i've been thinking about the james duff 5,5" kit but i can't find alot of info on it. i called james duff inc. and they said that their kit contains everyting for the front end, and you have to get new springs for the back or do the SOA.

now i was thinking about doing the SOA cause it would save me some money, but i was wondering about the lenght of my drive shaft, will i have to get a new one or is there enough play in the slip yoke to accommodate the difference?

also about the SOA how is that going to effect the angle on the diff?

I'm just working it right now, i just finished putting the body lift in and now i'm working on some rust spot on the front of the rear wheel well, what a pain that is, that's ok cause i'm planing putting some rock sliders...

right now before i make my mind on ordering the suspension kit i'm getting my bumpers, nothing fancy just some 6.7 c channel with modified original bumper bracket. anyways i'll post some pics up soon...

Your stock drive shaft will be long enough for the SOA conversion.

You will set your pinion angle when you weld on the new spring perches to the top of the axle.

A SOA conversion on an Explorer will get you anywhere from 4"-6" of lift.
