Introduction/build thread

So this is my introduction I guess. I bought a 1993 Explorer 4x4, 4.0, autotragic. 70500 on the odo. 4x4 works, runs fairly well, its starting to have some tranny problems. But I've had experience in the past with transmissions so I should be able to get through those problems. Heres some pictures.

I do too, my best friend had a 2wd 93 in the same red. I always loved the color

Looks good man! Do you have any plans in mind for it?

Honestly, nothing too wild. Maybe a body lift, but for the immediate future, stock ranger wheels with some 31s, a few fog lights, and thats it.

Alright so I need some help. I'm looking to lift it soon and put on some 31 BFG AT. But I'm poor. Whats the best, cheap way to lift it? I was thinking lift springs in the front and shackles in the back, but do I need to mess with a lot of stuff to use the springs?
