    Engine coating messed up with Purple Power?

    Update: Just started her up, seems okay. I may try this again this weekend, and actually scrub the bay. I wish it ended up shinier, not sure how to make that happen

    I have read the stickies and used the search button

    This guy ran 33s with no bodylift. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=265165&page=3 But yeah Id say you should prob do a 2 inch body lift, with 2 inch you dont have to mess with all the tricky stuff. Drop the poly blocks on there and youre good.

    Cheap 17x8 or 17x7 rims..

    I bought my Cragar Soft 8s from JEGS for 70 bucks each, free shipping. Thats about as cheap as theyre gonna get, apparently no ford vehicles with our bolt pattern have been on a 17x8 so youll have a hard time finding a cheap set. But still, free shipping musta killed JEGS. god knows it cost at...

    Fixed the random popping! Took it to the mechanic because I thought my alighment was really off and it's always shaking down the road, turns out that when I did my balljoints i somehow didnt bolt the control arm in correctly? The camber was scarily outta whack. 180 bucks later and I have new...

    Also, any idea on bolt lengths? These numbers are coming from the 3" lift guide: Front mounts - 180MM Mounts that are in front of the front seats - 140MM Mounts just under the rear of the front seats - I used the stock bolts from the very rear mounts. Mounts in the front of cargo area - 160MM...
