Description
My Vehicle: 1998 Eddie Bauer, 4 Door, 302 V8, Ford Explorer.
Not only do I "love" old Explorers & Broncos, this vehicle has sentimental value to me. I have been slowly restoring it over the past 10 years, a little at a time.
What I want to do: I need a raise of 3" over what I have now to make room for the 35" tires I want to fit. I wish I had a garage to do this myself but I reside in a place where I'm not allowed to work on my vehicle.
.................................................................................................................................
Front: Torsion keys to crank up to 3".
* While this is being done, the torsion bar bolt retainer (That’s the small part that the torsion bar bolt screws into) should be replaced. Bolt retainers can fail due to age, causing the torsion bar bolt to be crooked. The replacement is only $10 and is easy to change.

Rear: Warrior Heavy Duty 2 1/2" shackles or blocks.
Shackles:
Blocks:

Shocks will most likely need to be replaced with taller ones. Rancho RS5000X Series Shock Absorber Part #: RS55229..? (this comes in different sizes)
I want someone with knowledge. You need to have done this before! Please tell me where your shop is, what experience you have and how much you think this would cost? I will purchase the parts myself and bring them to you.
If I had a lot of money I would not be posting on here, I would be taking my truck straight to R & H Spring in Wall. Please keep that in mind when giving me a price.
Thanks!
