    Jrgaylor's 91 Explorer full width D44/9

    OK thanks I didnt think that the stock explorer cables would work due to the full width axles and now the 2 more inches of suspension lift i now have. The stock cables seemed to be almost too short with my 4" lift leafs and extended shackles before. I think i will try using a set of...

    Which lift is BEST ?

    I would have to say that the best off the shelf lift kit would have to be the "SkyJacker Class 2" with the extended radius arms, and replacement rear leaf springs. if you want tougher stuff than you will be looking at the camburg cut and turned beams, and radius arms. I think you would be...

    Wrong Balljoints

    I bought the balljoints from autoparts plus, looks like i have to go back there and take a look at the one that they say is for a D35. the ones i bought look correct though. I see that you live not too far from me. how often do you go out wheeling?
