Looking for a 2 inch lift for my 2000 Ford Explorer XLT?

I have been looking on every website I could possibly find that offers lift kits all I can find is a 4 inch lift for almost 2000 dollars. Besides being a a little overbudget for me, I don't want a 4 inch lift. So is there any way to get a 2 inch lift done, I was looking mainly for suspension lift but at this point I may resort to a body lift if possible

Is a 2002 Ford Explorer XLS worth spending $1500 in repairs or should I just buy a new car?

Bought it new for $18000 At 40k miles (1 month after Warranty was gone and Ford wouldn't help) the transmission broke and cost $3000 to repair. Also spend $1700 same year to fix the AC. It kept breaking before warranty was up and Ford kept stringing me along until the Warranty was up. They'd do temp repairs, refill the Freon and say it was something else. After warranty they said it was the compressor. I don't trust them nor this car. But it's long since paid for and don't like taking on new debt. What would you do?

How to win a traffic ticket case for cutting through parking lot?

Yesterday, I cut through a Lowe's parking lot. As I start driving down the street I accessed from the parking lot, a black Ford Explorer police car pulls up behind me out of no where and pulls me over. Thinking that if I just be respectful and honest, I would just receive a warning. Nope. I got a ticket. I'm a broke college student and I really can't afford another ticket. I lost my debit card at that moment and I was panicked, so I drove to the stores I went to, to try and retrieve it. I found it (way too late…)

I plan on going to court for it since the officer insisted, but I've never done this before.

Car starts after 2nd try?

I have a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 and i recently changed the fuel pump and filter. And i was why the car takes about 2 try's to start? The engine turns but doesn't turn on but after 2 or 3 try's it starts? Could it be the the battery in the car is a little smaller then the one that was in it originally?
