The 51632 drops the front of the Explorer about 1.6 inches and the rear about 1.75 inches, which is enough to eliminate most of the fender gap and meaningfully lower the center of gravity without going so low that the SUV becomes impractical on real roads. Actual drop varies a bit depending on engine configuration and which factory options you have, so treat those numbers as the average rather than a guarantee. These work with the factory dampers, though if your Explorer has any real mileage on it, the factory shocks are already in their wear range and a stiffer spring rate will expose that. If the ride feels choppy or unsettled after the springs go in, the shocks are usually the reason. An alignment is required after installation regardless.

Pairs well with:

• H&R TRAK+ Wheel Spacers for Ford Explorer AWD (2020-2024) Lowering the Explorer closes the fender gap, and a set of H&R wheel spacers pushed the wheels flush with the fender edge to complete the stance, keeping everything in the same brand and the same engineering philosophy front to back.
