Block Lift Help!

I want to make my 1995 Ford Explorer look bigger. Right now I have stock everything. I am buying 32X11.50-15 BF goodrich mud terrains and I bought a 3" Trailmaster block lift. I can not afford someone putting in the lift, will this be hard? Also, can this block work only be put on the rear wheels? What can I do for the front wheels, that is inexpensive. Any comments or suggestions, thanks alot....

Block Lift Help!

I think you got a bit of a problem here. I think the front is torsion bar independent. The blocks will do no good there. You can do the back with blocks but the front is where you have the issues with tires fitting because of them turning. You may want to talk with a local shop and at least have them explain to you what would be involved in lifting your explorer. Maybe you can take the blocks back if you decide you can't use them.

Your explorer uses a ttb axle just like the full sizes or the rangers i belive, there for theres not a whole lot of cheap ways to do the lift right. You might consider using a body lift which would be a whole lot cheaper.

Just wondering, I did the radius arm bushings on a customers 95 explorer, and it had coils with the twin I beam. This one was 2wd.
