'96 xlt explorer rear lift

[pipdango]

I'm helping my friend modify is 96 xlt. He doesn't want to go to high, just high enough to not scrape on pebbles. I've heard some thing about being able to lift the front by torquing down on the torsion bars. I only want to do about 2 inches in the front because of the IFS but I'm thinking about doing 2.5 inches in the rear. What is the best way to do this? Longer shackles? Add-a-leaf? What do you think? I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible and I'm also trying to fit 32 or 33x10.5 inch tires. Any help is very much apprieciated! Thanks!

on an explorer youll need more than 2 inch lift to clear 33 do a 2 inch lift in front and an add-a-leaf 2.5 in rear and a 3 inch body lift and then youll have enough to clear 33 with out cuting up your body!!! been ther dont that!!! it a real nice lift to 5 inches and 33 real clean looking.. good luck!
