    iPhone and OEM Radio.

    No, sorry that wont work. You could get an FM transmitter, or get a radio that has bluetooth or usb plugin.

    Re-gearing question

    You'd have to recalibrate the speedometer, you can do this with an SCT tuner. Its possible that a ford dealership could do it for you, not sure on that.

    It shouldn't be a problem.

    shackle problems

    I have the auto zone shackles. If you only plan on doing some light trails and going through mud, they'll be fine. The bolt on the stock shackles is to big for the hole in the new ones. just drill the hole big enough or use the bolts that came with the new one. I've had mine on for a little over...

    bullet proof differential?

    My 98 was doing the same thing... when put into drive the driveshaft would turn about 1/4 turn. I replaced the u-joint at the rear differential and at the transfer case. No more problems. Pop the differential cover off, see whats going on in there.

    bullet proof differential?

    sounds like a bad u joint to me.. crawl under and try moving the driveshaft up/down and try turning it, watch the u joint while doing this. you'll be able to see if its shot.

    another 33"" fitment thread

    you can put 33/12.50s on 15x7 rims but on your stock rims you will most likely rub.

    Help... Are these the right shackles that i need???

    If you dont do any crazy offroading, you can get lift shackles at advance auto, auto zone etc. for about $20.. I've had them on mine for a little over a year now with no problems, and they have seen plenty of mud haha

    Lifting a 97?

    TT in the front and shackles in the rear will give you about 2 inches of lift and could do 3 inch body lift for about 5 inches. size tires want to run?

    oil change after seafoam into vacum line?

    seafoam through the vac line wont get it into the oil. If you pour it in the oil, id change it within 100 miles at least.

    headlight issues need help asap

    Yes, if the wire shorted, it would have blown the fuse. How did you check the fuse? i've seen some that looked ok, but werent.

    Body lift Problem HELP!

    I used a pair of channel locks to hold the metal part under the bushing from spinning while a friend loosened the bolt. Yes, blocks go on top of bushings.

    4x4 question

    You dont have limited slip. I dont either, but sometime all 4 do spin, sometimes they dont.

    4x4 question

    If you look at your door sticker, look for axle code, post it here someone will tell you if you have limited slip or not. Upload you picture to http://imageshack.us/ and post the link to you picture.

    Starter Doesn't Respond

    Try starting the truck in neutral, reverse, drive ect. then you'll know if its something with the safety switch. maybe you got a bad battery, try jumping it. Sorry cant be more help, not in the right state of mind at the moment:chug:

    New shackles arrives today - any other way to lift the front?

    The ride doesn't get that much worse, it feels like the suspensions a little bit stiffer. I actually like it better, but you may not. Torsion keys are a waste of money, get the same results for free with a socket.

    URGENT!! Charging problem!

    Fuses blowing is a good sign that a wire is shorted to ground

    Synthetics

    are there any shackles on the market that give you more lift than the 2" with 153's?

    Ok. I'm not sure if you can fit 33s with 2 inch lift, unless you do a bit of trimming. The only shackles i know of only lift 2 inches. If you don't do any major off roading, you can get lift shackes at autozone, advance auto, etc. for about $17. Thats what im using, no problems with them after...
