So, I'm going to have to remove the shocks because they won't work upside down. Managed to install one side of the front brakes Si

Getting nuts and bolts over here is an absolute nightmare. Finally managed to get the rear shocks on. Hopefully have the front brakes done this weekend also but for now that's as far as we've got Si

Had my nephew round to help again today, rear brakes sorted out. Still need to make a bracket for the brake line from the frame. Shocks still need to go on but I need the hardware. Back on the 33s for now. Currently sitting about 12" taller than my wife's explorer 😂 Si

As far as I know the calipers are factory and haven't been replaced. Only master cylinder and power booster Si

It's a 98/99 Si

Is there anything else that can affect this? A friend of mine currently has his explorer in the shop due to lack of pedal return. Has fitted new booster and master cylinder. No change. It's worth noting that when the vacuum line is disconnected the issue goes away. Any suggestions? Si

Took nearly 12 months from ordering to receiving it. Si

More help from my nephew, can't thank him enough. Got the U-bolts shortened on Friday. They came from Barnes 4x4. Got the shock plates on that I got from @Brian1 All tightened up. Then installed a new diff cover and put new fluids in. Oh and removed old shocks. Si

Yeah if you can find them Thanks Si

I'm cool with it thanks I really appreciate your help. Si

And probably upto 2005 trac Thanks Si

4 bolts each. 2010 ranger ideally. Thanks Si

Had my nephew over to help again. Got the old springs and diff out, new stuff in, then had to stop because we ran out of daylight Si

Looking for a pair of torsion bar covers from a ranger or sport trac. Part 4 on the image. Shipped to UK please Thanks Si

Only until the weekend when we're doing the rear 😂😂😂 can't be seen in public like this Si

Had my nephew over again sunday to lend a hand as I'm still out of action and can't really do much. Got most of the front end done, brake lines, I imagine, will probably need to be replaced, still need to do sway bar/links and front driveshaft aswell as fill the front diff. But for now, back...

I had high hopes of doing loads this weekend, but I've torn my rotator cuff again and can't move my right arm, so had to enlist the help of my nephew. Managed to get the other side pretty much all bolted up. I'm probably going to have to make some new brake lines to enable me to fit new calipers...

Made some progress today, installed all new driveshafts, new lower ballpoint, and almost have the passenger side all finished. Held up by a seized brakeline fitting, and I also forgot to order a balljoint for the other side. So that should be here before next weekend. Front end is almost back...

Been a hell of a week, so progress was minimal, but, installed the new RC shocks, got the new torsion dampers on, so hopefully the entire front should be done by the end of the month. Si

Finally made a bit of progress today. It took all day but managed to get the old factory bushings out of the lower arms and get new polyurethane ones installed. Then I fought with it some more and got the arms back on Si

Also need a pair of torsion key covers if anyone has a pair from the same. Thanks Si

I did think I might have to, but I'll see how I go. I just want the damn thing on the road now. Si

Torsion bar relocation brackets are in after slight modification. My Explorer uses a different style of damper, so I had to cut the RC bracket to fit. Si

Well, I chopped it off and installed it. Si

So, finally getting around to installing the RC lift on my UK 97 Ran into a slight issue when mounting the rear torsion bar brackets. Mine has earlier style torsion bar damper and this uses later style. Would you lop off the metal that's getting in the way? Si
