2 inch drop for handling and looks.If anybody at all can

Your going in the wrong direction, you lift 4x4 and lower 2x4. But that is just my personal opion.

Now for the techincal information. The early explorers are hard to chage the height in either direction and still keep the front end allined. The twin I beam setup swings the tire in an arc. This causes the tires camber to change as the tire moves. Any explorer made in 95 and after is very easy to do.
