Default My Explorer (Solid Axle Swap)

Ever since we decided to do a run I'm been working hard to finish my Explorer. It started out as an independent front suspension that had about an inch and a half lift from twisting the torsion bars. Now it's about 4 inches higher with a Dana 30 front axle out of a '88 Cherokee. The only part of it that I didn't do myself was the steering which was done by Randy at Randy's Offroad in Azusa. However, I have to redo it because the tie rod bar is just twisting. I've started the conversion over to high steering which will move the drag link above the passenger spring.

The only things I have left is to make the drag link, have the driveshaft lengthened (should be done in a couple days), install 4.56 gears and then put it up on 33's.

Here's some pictures of the work.
