Because I keep getting PMs asking about pricing. LOL:
Latest Pricing:
Kit with powdercoated brackets: $290
Kit with raw brackets: $270
Shipping:
$17 US
$46 Canada
Kit includes:
4 brackets (2 upper, 2 lower)
4 gussets to reinforce shock tower
2 shock tower spacers for upper mounts
8 rod end spacers (for 1/2" wide rod ends--like Fox)
All hardware to install--grade 8 zinc plated
What else you will need:
2 coilover shocks
2 coil springs
2 limit straps and brackets
What you may need:
Bump stops if you are lifting your truck at the same time, but if you already have a Superlift, or if you are remaining at stock height, you can reuse what you have. You simply need to trim back the bracket on the frame where the bump stop mounts, so that the coilover will clear it. You then redrill a hole in the remaining part of the bracket and mount the bump stop further in.

Also there is no such thing as a 2.5 in lift. I assume your talking about torsion bar keys which reindex the bars. This is a complete waste that can be done by adjusting the tbar preload. The t bars are also removed when doing a co swap.
Don't forget you need extended eyelets bump stops and limit straps for this swap.

A for part numbers, start at this page and work back. There is a part number list that keeps getting reposted, and I don't think you'll have to go back more than 5 or 6 pages to find the most recent copy.

Here's my $.02
I've been running the CO setup at stock ride height on my 99 explorer sport for about a year now. I am not running the extended eyelets with no problems. The limiting factor for down travel on mine is not the control arms but the CV shafts. I have my limiting strap tension set just above where the CV shafts start to bind up. I also went with 650LB springs but would go heavier if I did it again. To get the ride height to match the back the spring is compressed so far down it's almost the limiting factor for up travel. Overall it's a great upgrade from the factory torsion setup.

If you're sitting at stock height on an Explorer, I can definitely see why you might be afraid of bottoming out with them, but I don't think you actually would, because the bump stops are still the same as they are with the Ranger, and no one has mentioned bottoming them out.

Sorry, I just saw this message.
I don't have anything available right now. I'm doing this on an order basis, because it wasn't working out very well doing batches, as I'd get twice as many people put their names on the list as would pay by the time I got the batch done, so I'd spend the next 6 months trying to move the ones I had.
I should be able to turn orders in a month, barring any unforseen issues popping up.
