well i figured i would get a short list of things i have done with pictures and descriptions so everyone sees i actually wheel and dont sit around online instead of wrenching like other people i know......

i got it last fall and this is basicly what it looked like

next step was 31s some coil spacers and a bastard leaf pack out back but i lack pictures of this. i had swaped on manual hubs to replace the automatic ones.


skip ahead 6 months or so and i have swaped in a ford 8.8 and dana 35 from a explorer that both have 456 gears and a mini spool in the rear. the front suspension has rancho jeep coils that are only a 240lb spring rate instead of the crappy 500 pound rate lift coils that came with my 2.5 inch lift kit. front can get about 13 inches of wheel travel as it sits and could get 17 if i changed the shock mounts for more travel.

jeep coils that have a 18 inch free height and have a static ride height of around 14 inches with SSV shocks to keep them under control.

IFS diff cover to replace the shitty fiberglass one that ford put on there stock

nice long radius arms that came with my lift along with poly bushings.

actually they are the rancho 2.5 inch lift and radius arms everyone hates. i am yet to break anything on the 2.5 lift, well whats left of it, i am only using the radius arms, radius arm mounts and lift brackets. everything else got tossed for better parts such as jeep coils.

thanks, it does its job and takes a beating while doing it. just about anything i can break i have spares of sitting at home so i do my best to make it or break it trying.
