I think you'd have better luck in the section for that year of truck, unless you meant 75?

I'd like to know too, because when you add lift what and how do you measure?

I was asking a question along these lines today. I went to a local jeep shop and they sell the explorer pro comp 690001 adapter mounts to change the stem style shocks to eyelet style. Just makes your choices a little easier and a lot of those shocks will give you a lift range for your vehicle that they will fit.
