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.
Currently i've got the IFS with manual hubs and 31's on my truck but i want to level it out and put a nice set of 33's under it. My goal is to have the frame 5 - 8" taller then stock.
What should i be concidering in regards to a swap and what would the cost be?
I have narrowed it down to a Dana 30 or possibly Dana 44, Decided it would be easier to go leafs. I would like to maintain my 5x4.5 bolt pattern, and get manual hubs.
I mainly plan to use this for only light off roading and trail riding but mostly street and dirt roads. I have access to my colleges machine and welding shops and do have fab skills to a degree.
