With which engine? I HIGHLY doubt she’ll let the 4.9 stay in there. It’s kind of going to be her truck.
Old thread though, but what can one refer to the trim of this truck? Is this a single cab extended or what? I have exactly like your truck, with a 3.0l automatic.This was shortly after I bought it. It was completely stock and came with all the original paperwork and every single receipt since it was new.
Fast forward 13 years and this was basically how I got it back. I had lowered it a couple times at one point and the front end was shot/.
This was the '97 B4000 donor truck I traded my clapped out Dodge 1500 for. It had no title and the body was trashed but the motor and trans both worked like they were new.
Stripped right down to the cab and engine cross member out
4.0 in my Ranger after new gaskets and converting it to '93 engine management.
And the Almost finished product.
Future plans are to get the front end up another couple inches and Run 33's. It would be a plenty capable truck for the two tracks and little bit of hunting it will see

My truck is considered a regular cab, short bed. Your truck is a regular cab but looks like it may be a long bed.
Thanks a bunch sir
How many inches of lift is this beautiful truck?
. I loved mine while it worked.
I was curious about removing the Aussie if need be. It doesn’t look fun to fish the C-clips out of that narrow slot. My only concern with the driveshaft is the fact that I shortened it myself and it isn’t one continuous weld all the way around. I’ll probably never put enough load on it to cause any real concern but ya never know! I have an explorer shaft laying around somewhere ready to be shortened if something happens.Aussie's aren't too bad to install, not fun to get out...
As for the driveshaft, it's been a while since I went through this thread but if it's a stock 4x4 shaft I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you have serious axle wrap and do silly things like tractor pulls or something... that's what it took to break my stock shaft, but I also twisted a leaf spring and broke a plug weld on the 8.8 and twisted the axle tube... the locker held up for years after that, just gave up a year ago after a fair amount of abuse.
