Ok so i have a d35 and 8.8 from an exploder, and i have a few questions about lift.

I am using explorer coils and leafs, and I am going to use a 2 in spacer in the front. For the back i dont know whether to use an add a leaf in the explorer, put a bii leaf in the explorer leaf pack, use a lift block, or longer shackles???

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Go with longer shackles. Longer shackles can be had for less than 50 bucks.

x2 on the shackles. Look for Chevy drop shackles as they will lift the rear ~2".

with explorer leafs? Can i take a leaf out of a bii leaf pack and put it in the explorer leaf pack?

 

[rngrdanny22]

I'm not sure how well it would work. I've never heard of anyone doing it before.

It has potential to work like an add-a-leaf I guess.

to tell you the truth you can put a leaf out of anything in there as long as there the same width. i have a chevy leaf in my ranger pack and it rides amazing. on top of the nice ride i got 3.5 inch of lift from it and i can two anything without the rear dropin down

did you have to get a longer bolt to hold the pack together?

 

[dyllanvenezio]

[rngrdanny22]

^^^ I personally would try this. At the very least, it will cost you about $1.00 for slightly longer bolts & nuts.

The drop shackles would probably be about $40...

i did forget one thing you need a new centering pin (the bolt that holds the pack together) it also centers the rear end under the leaf springs it cost me four bucks a bolt

Great thanks.

I added pulled a leaf from an extra Ranger pack I had laying around and stuck it into my pack on my old Ranger. It road like a brick, but lifted the rear about 3"s.

i lifted mine with chevy leaf out of a 79 gmc but i think i would make some shackels because then you would have more flex if you want that to. they are really easy to make as long as you do it the right way

i don't know for sure but you may not need to do anything to the rear. when you put the 8.8 in you will need to cut off the leaf spring pads and re-weld them on the top of the axle tube so the leaf will be over the axle instead of under it. that will give you a lift of the thickness of the leaf spring+ the height of the axle+ the thickness of the spring pad+ any lift that the explorer leafs will give you. (i've heard 1" to 2"). SOA is a good thing. ;D
