- 2000 explorer 5.0
Hey there everyone. I have been doing some looking for a lift for my 86 F150. I talked to the guy that bought my explorer back in november, and he has a 6" lift made by superlift that will fit my truck. This includes the coils, brackets, pitman arm, and extended radius arms. He wants $350 for the whole thing.
I also found a guy that has a 78 bronco with a solid dana 44 under it and a 4" lift for it. He said he had already sold the 4" lift coils, and shocks; but he would sell me the axle, radius arms, radius arm mounts, and traction bar for $100.
My question: If I were to buy the solid dana 44 from this guy, could I swap the entire carrier and gears from my dana 44 TTB thats on my truck right now, into the solid dana 44? I dont have the knowledge or money right now to regear. I just wanna keep the gears the same from front to rear. What do you all think? Also...this truck is going to be primarily for the trails, but I will drive it on the road occasionally......like maybe once or twice a week.
Also. I was talking to a friend of mine, and we were talking about welding up the front spider gears so I have posi up front. What do you think of this idea? I know it will eat the tires up if I drive in 4x4 on the street. But it will also help me offroad greatly.
Just looking for some input from everyone.
Thanks,
Andy
