Alright so I have a 99' Supercab 3.0L 4x4. I've got a manual trans/t-case, swapped in explorer leafs and an expo 8.8 in the back already. Cranked the t bars but with the addition of the explorer rear end stuff it now sits like 2 - 3" taller then the front again.

Hey so I finally got a new battery in my truck after the old one crapped out. But it had been sitting for a while and I took the battery out as it wasn't holding any charge and got a new one at Sears so it probably spent 3 hours un hooked while I did other things. I got it hooked up and started...
