Exclamation 1995 Explorer Lift KIT!!! HELP

I was thinking about putting a supension lift on my 95 explorer, but when i started looking around for lifts for a 95, i couldnt find a brand that made one for 95, the model years for lift that they have, go up to 94 then skip 95 and go to 96 to current, but my friend told me to find out what the diffrence is between the 94 and the 96, so does anybody know the diffrence between the 94 lifts and the 96 lifts, will either one work on my 95 explorer????, and i dont have leafs spring all around just in the back? PlEASE help i really would like a lift on it?

The differences between the 94 and 96 are the 94 is a coil spring front end, the same from 90 to 94. The 95 has the torsion bar front end just like the 96 and newer Explorers with one MAJOR difference. For some reason, the brackets that house the back ends of the torsion bars are welded to the frame on the 95 Explorers. The 96 and newer models have this bracket bolted to the frame. This is why there is no suspension lift available for the 95. That bracket is dropped via new suspension brackets on the 96 and up models. Since the 95 bracket is welded, it is most likely deemed "immovable", and therefore not capable of being lifted, which is why you don't see a listing for it in any suspension lift catagories.

What do you plan on doing with your X?
Unless you plan on wheeling your X alot and can afford the suspention lift, go with a body lift. You will be able to fit 32s or 33s with a 3" BL, turn your tortion bars up 2"s and a set of Warrior shackles for the rear.
I daily drove and wheeled my X with that setup for 4 years and was more than happy with it. My brother in law has the X now and still daily drives and wheels it.
