No need. The explorer 5.0 should fit without any body lift.

 

tyvm for all the info I will check some of the sites out from the hotel this weekend..... I crew on a tf team & will finally have a little time.....
I may just put the body on a ranger chassis..... she doesn't want 4wd.... that way I can store the stock chassis & put it back when she tires of it
