Right now I have basically a stock 91 ex-cab 4x4. I have decided on a lift. I like the skyjacker 4" stage 1. Then in the future get the rad arms, etc.
Will that kit get me into some 32"bfgs muds or A/T's?

I read something in another thread about camber/caster bushings for alignment issues. Are these necessary, or just a good idea to use em?

I think I may also need longer brake lines. Any recommendations?

I got a 7.5 ls in the rear and 3.73's. I know I need to regear but what about axle swapping to an 8.8 and a new d35(I got one up front), maybe I can find one in a yard with the ratio I want. I would really like some advice on this issue. Ive never done any work like this(including installing a lift) to any vehicle but I am confident with the website I could get it done.

Anything else I need to consider? Driveline issues, etc.
 
ya 32''s would be the biggest i would go so i could still have good flex, yes you are going to need longer brake lines, ya the stage one is good for a start and you always can add to it when you have money, you might be able to get by with your stock camber bushings. your gearing will be fine for now but i would chang to 456s some time down the road, i have 373s and 33x12.50 swomps and its really not that bad, but in getting 456s soon. ya i just did the explorer d35 and 8.8 and love it. good luck. hope i helped.
 
if any thing just drop your carrier bearing cross member if you get any vibration in the drive line, it shouldent be bad though. i really think you should go with the 6'' lift since you have a extended cab, thats what i did, the 6'' lift will lift your truck 4 1/2'' since you have the ex-cab. you will be much happyer down the road.
 
Yeah you are right. If i DONT go with the 6" lift and 33's(which is really what I want) I will wish that I had. I will look around the tech area about the axle swaps and then ask more questions. If they bolt right in I will go for it. Thanks everyone.
