Description
This Kit Fits:
20011-2019 Ford Explorer 2WD and 4WD
This kit lifts all of the new body Ford Explorer’s. Cop Cars, 2wd’s and 4×4’s, this will make your truck look seriously tough, if you use your Explorer at all like a adventure vehicle or even just want it to look like you do, this kit will help you out.
Our Truxxx lift kit, lifts the truck 2.5″ upfront and 1.25″ in the rear with a simple install, you could even do it in your driveway if you wanted. The front uses our simple install design we created over a decade ago and the rear is an easy coil spring spacer.
This Truxxx lift kit uses the stock Ford Struts and Springs to retain the OEM ride and we include shock brackets so you can still use stock or stock length shocks and maintain the ride Ford’s engineers intended, they invested millions in R&D, why mess with things that l already work!
**some Explorer’s use softer springs than others, the only difference in part # 102015 & 102035 is the height of the front spacer**
***Note that Ford NEVER intended the 4×4/AWD version of an Explorer to operate like a classic Bronco, using this truck off-road with or without our kit installed will not make your Explorer a true off-road vehicle, this vehicle is designed for dirt and gravel roads, snow, and year round travelling to the cabin or fishing hole.
Using this to make your Explorer into an “off-road” vehicle ( or trying to explore rock cluttered trails, crushing potholes, trying to do your best impersonation of Ken Block or Travis Pastrana) will not end well – the chassis, transmission, steering and suspension are not designed for real off-road use.***
We make this from the finest steel we can buy ~ High Quality North American milled DOM tubing, laser cut cold rolled steel and 8.8 or 10.9 grade fasteners, you cannot buy a better built kit for your truck.
Every Truxxx leveling kit is made with USA and Canadian Mill Certified Steel and laser cut to precision tolerances using OEM drawings, every kit is welded in house using the latest US Made welders and triple checked to ensure proper fitment.
This kit contains two front strut spacers, front sway bar extensions, rear spring spacers, rear shock brackets and all the required hardware and detailed instructions and complete alignment specs.
Recommended installation time is approx. 2.5 – 4 hours + an alignment and a 30.5 – 32.00” tall tire ( 265/60R18) are commonly used on a stock style offset aftermarket wheel.
• Designed to retain the stock ride quality! • Aftermarket shocks are NOT required! • Alignment specs included! •
***ALWAYS test fit wheels and tires AFTER lift install ~ test fit your tires and wheels after install as every tire and wheel manufacturer uses a different measuring tape! ***
Okiedevildog –
I have put Truxxx lifts on my last 2 Expeditions and my wife’s 2017 Ford Explorer Sport AWD. My 2014 Expedition has the appeal and rugged look for us men out there who wish to drive a SUV, absolutely love how it sits, rides and looks aggressive. I’m running Toyo Open Country ATII 305/55/20.
The Explorers are nice middle level SUV’s but set too low for me and the wife, thankfully she agrees, so we put the Truxxx 2.25 front and 1.25 rear lift on it with Toyo Celsius CUV A 275/50/20 All Season tire, which is a custom order tire since its OEM for Audi SUVs. We did have Cooper Discovery HT Plus 285/50/20 but didn’t’ like the ride and the handling of those tires, so beware of those. We did loose some get up power with the lift and tires, which to us is not a biggie, we rather have the look and under clearance for where we live in Oklahoma and where we drive too.
I highly recommend this brand, have used these lifts on 3 different vehicles and when the Bronco comes out, I’m ordering a lift for it as well….thanks for the wonderful product.
