[QUOTE="Phil V, post: 1036999, member: 70859"] My truck is lowered 2-2.5 in front and 3 in the rear. Explorer Express sold a kit and I also got some torsion keys from Illusive Fabrications. This was all years ago. You will need lowering blocks and new U bolts for the rear. Personally wouldn't go any more than 3 inches. It doesn't leave much suspension travel at all. I also have smaller bump stops and it still hits them often enough In the front you lower it using the torsion bar bolts or drop keys. I really wouldn't go any more than 2.5 in the front. I have removed the bump stops and instead it just rubs the fender liner [URL]http://shop.illusivefabrications.com/drop-torsion-keys/ranger-explorer-drop-torsion-keys/[/URL] Here is the link to the keys if you want to go that route. I know nothing of blocks maybe someone else can chime in If you do lower it you're going to want some new shocks asap. I use the doetshe tech nitro slammer from Brian at Illusive [/QUOTE]
