Torsion keys and spindles will give you 5 inches of lift in the front, just look on the web and you will be able to find what you need, research always helps

i think he said he has coils.

i dont know a whole lot about the a-arm setup for lifts, but i think if you go with longer shocks, longer coils and drop spindles you can get your 5 in. lift

do not use blocks on the back, either do the 63" chevy spring swap or get your springs arced.

If he has an edge he's more than likely got torsion bars, I have yet to see one that doesnt but yes 2" coils, spindles and longer shocks would work as well, look under your truck and see what you have and then go from there

a "EDGE" will have T bars. XL, XLT will have coil spring.


You can crank to T-bars for 2 inches and add a 3 inch spindal for 5 inches.
Doing this you lose some down travel, and it you crank the T bars to much, your ride will really go to crap, and your alighment will be a bogger to get back in to "spec"

you can do a upper arm kit, with a lift spindal, for 5 inches of lift and keep your ride quality.
this is the Chad McNeil kit,Mcneiloff-road.com

yes I know this is a explorer, but they use the same form suspention.
