'93 Explorer radius arm drop
I installed a custom 2.5" lift on my '93 Explorer; however, I don't know what to do about the radius arms. I can't find anyone who sells just the brackets to lower the arms 2.5", and I don't feel like paying $400 for new radius arms. Does anyone have a sollution to my problem??

I lifted my 93 2-2.5" with new front springs and an add-a-leaf in the rear. The Alignment shop added some harder plastic material at the radius arm connection to help accomodate the new angle and still provide some cushion. The stock bushings were retained but the new material was placed between the cups and the bushing on both sides, 4 places total. I had previously installed bigger camber discs so there was enough movement to adjust for the tire sag due to the lift. No other mods were required and I've had no problems with extreme articulation off road.
