need help lifting 99 explorer

[whitewizzard]

so i want to put my 33's from my ranger onto my explorer but i cant figure out how i should lift it or how much i should lift it. im thinking crank down the torsion bars and flipping the rear axle and adding a 3 inch body lift. where can i get a body lift and the spring perches for the axle? i need all the tips i can get, im not to familiar with lifting the body on an explorer or where to get my supplies/parts.

Going SOA in the rear will get you around 5-6" of lift and you won't be able to get nearly that by cranking the torsion bars. I guess you could run a progressive body lift though..

i thought the soa would give me 2-3 inches and i am doin a body lift getting a 3 inch lift from a 99 ranger and putting it in

ok just looked into everything im just gonna throw some extended shackles in the rear and crank the torsion bars to get a couple inches from the front keepin an eye on my cv shafts, i just replaced everything in the front of this due to loaning it to someone who decided to try to hop a curb only to blow out my bearings and tear apart my shafts, and im also doing a 3 inch body lift from a 99 ranger. where would be the cheapest place to get a full kit, ie: all body blocks, steering extention, all bolts etc.?
