2002 Ford Explorer Overhaul
Well i was given to me a Ford Explorer 2002 4dr and was thinking about lifting it up a bit, get some new tires and a dual exhaust. I have roughly 2500 to spend on this if i have a custom 4x4 shop do it. Do you think its manageable with that price range?

2002 and newer are independant rear suspension. How do you plan to raise the back ? Longer struts ? Move the pumpkin ? Front is not a piece of cake either. How much raise ?
