2002 2WD Explorer air ride HELP !!!!

hey guys my name is Brandon..... heres my question ,and hopefully some of you guys can Help me out......i have a 2002 2WD Ford Explorer that im currently looking to get on air. The front suspension components are factory and the rear suspension setup is factory IRS and was curious as to how/what i should use???? i basically just want to get it set up on air using all other factory suspension components as well. i have talked to several people/shops and they have told me that with the IRS that i would need to Cantilever the rear to use bags? and others have told me to use air cylinders front and rear.....the EX is my daily right now and still need to maintain all the interior stuff,...so doing a frame back half or or axle swap and notch are out of the question, ...so far the most logical answers i have got was to use air cylinders on all four corners because of the rear IRS? or some sort of air-over shocks or sleeve bags? any help,pics,anything would be greatly appreciated.would love to see pics of other explorer's that are on air with the similair set-up

does anybody out there got a 2002 explorer with the same factory front/rear suspension on air?...would like to see pics of your set-ups !!!!

there was one at slammin n jammin but it was a mile from layin. i think air ride tech makes a kit.

yea i think ive seen the one your talking bout...anyways yea i know i wont lay out,but at least i will be lowered and adjustable for now


anybody else have any info?

i think the time u would waste on that would be worthless, the best thing u can do is save ur time and money and just get the stuff to do it where u will lay hard. and im not bashing one bit....but if ur anything like me in 2 weeks it will still be too high and ur gonna have to do it all over anyway

hahahha doode i know ...you are right, thats exactly what will happen !!!!!!

Is your Exp. a sport or a 4 door? The Sport has a torsion bar front suspension and an axel with leafs in the rear. It's a pretty easy truck to bag but if you want it to lay you have to Z the front.

no its a 4dr it has a factory IRS setup in the rear

what this biatch isn't on the ground yet Brandon? j/k haha

have you found much help anywhere else yet?

I think ekstensive metal works has done one with factory irs (281 442 1050)
