Just like any SUV it depends on how you drive it. If you try to take a highway offramp going 65,of course youll end up on your roof. I have a 4" lift on mine and didnt notice any stability issues,just dont drive crazy and youll be fine. How big of a lift are you talking of?

Best bet, is the 91 to 94 explorer front axle. Dana 35's, stronger shafts, better u-joints at the stub shafts. You'll need a shorter front driveshaft and a few other odds and ends, but the swap is a bolt in for all intents and purposes. A problem with the 35's though is the wheel bearings. They are too close together, and have a tendency to loosen up at the worst possible time (Going 65 down the interstate), punting the front wheel into the median, and sending you on a very wild ride. You DO NOT want to even try to spin 36's with the D28. All it will do is make expensive sounding noises.
Also, that 7.5 rear will eat istelf trying to spin those tires. Upgrade to 8.8 out of a ranger. Again, that's a near bolt in with some driveshaft and brake mods. If you want 4 wheel disk, go with the explorer rear.
Beware of the 90 BII's front ends. They had a "hybrid" front axle that year too, which had D28 parts in the D35 housing. The ONLY way to tell is to pull the pig from the axle arm, and look inside. Can you say junk?
