i have not dont an EXP, but on the F150, you crawl under truckby the drivers and passenger front seat. the torsion bar is about an inch in diameter and runs from the front wheel to an anchor point under the seats. the anchor has a cam lock that slides over the hex end of the torsion bar. there is a jackscrew on the cam to make adjustments. maybe a 15mm head on the bolt? screw it in a couple turns, then see if that side sets up high enough. if not, do two more turns, etc.

Yes, the 99 has torsion bar suspension i inspected it tonight and it is twisted and nearly snapped. We went to the local parts store and they dont carry t bars. I have to go through ford, does anyone have an idea of what a new one would cost? I may try a salvage yard but they need a bar code of some sort and there arent many yards up here near by. Would anyone know what code i need for the 99 explorer xlt 4.0 2 door?
Thanks for the replies!

how about getting a pair of used ones off the used vehicle. the code then would not make much difference. you can adjust the height as you need. the stiffness may be slightly different on different exps, but i doubt much.
