I don't think anyone makes a selectable locker for our d35 which is different then a normal d35, it's lunch box or a few do make LS. I have a 5.0 which was AWD before the 4406 swap. The Ranger axles are most defiantly different.

I don't understand guys saying not to lock the front diff if you drive in snow. I live in PA and drove a 79 bronco 18 years with a front limited slip and it was more of a handful then my EX with a Lock Right. The Limited slip will push in corners 100% of the time whereas the lunchbox locker...

For some reason this is stickied in the transmission section. https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/how-to-avm-hub-conversion-2006-ranger.284136/ I did the lockout and added a Lock Right to my D35. Here's my crapy thread...

I wouldn't know the box number since I took this off a vehicle and each piece has it's own number but most can't be read due to rust. The shocks I went with are posted on page 1, I found them at Summit Racing and they are the correct Superlift plus 4'' shocks. No updates yet, I took some time...

I had to steal Starkmans rear bumper pic. This is what I'm going for, simple and easy.

My steel came in for my rear bumper and skid plate. The plate is just 3/16'' and the 2x4 and 2x2 is only 1/8''. The last thing I want is a heavy bumper that probably wont get used that hard. I just want to make something that don't hang out from the body or hang low.

Just take the tail housing off your tranny and add a T case like a BW4406. On second thought, the output shaft might be too long for that.

I really don't know anything about spring sliders but I like the idea. I would assume they would bind a tad or have more drag then a swinging shackle but I'm sure they work or they wouldn't exists.

Update..... Everything I had cleaned up so far got Powder coated today. This bracket got 3 new gussets added to it after reading a thread about a guy who bent his. The front bump stop extenders got cut down 1 1/4'' because the aftermarket bump stops I found are that much longer then the...

I own everything needed to do a SAS but I decided not to do this one.

Very nice work so far!

I doubt we have the hood clearance to raise the rad much at all. Put tall playdough towers on the top of the rad and shut the hood and see how much room you have. I doubt it would be enough to be worth the time to raise the rad.

Post Christmas update, I dug out the MIG today and welded up those Ruff Stuff U Bolt Plates. How they come. I tacked the ends of the seems then went full boogie. These things are pretty nice, they are bent very well and seem heavy enough to do the job. Now I got to find u bolts that...

I have that same bumper but I'm not installing mine till the lift is done. I was thinking about bolting a bar to the bottom of the bumper to protect the rad. I'm interested to see what you come up with.

A 5.0 is a 5.0, they are all the same as far as bell housing bolt pattern.

It'll be fine either way with 2.5 duals.

I hear you but my guy is basically free but he don't do all that. I could pretape them off but I don't have high temp tape and spray bomb is fine for me.

Too much talk...lol It will be spring till I install this stuff.....I think. I'm still gathering stuff, like this. Spring Under U-Bolt Plates Gunna give those a try and remount my shocks somewhere. I thought about a bolt flip with the nuts on top but I like the simplicity of those plates. I...

Update.... The new SkyJacker 6'' Ranger springs came in today!

I thought my torque arm was missing the bushing from the used lift I just got. It was in there and it was polyurethane, I found a match here and maybe it will help for non lift torque arms too. Energy Suspension Universal Polyurethane Bushings

Old thread but does anyone know for sure if the F67Z 3A443 AA housing bushings will fit in the torque arm?

Thanks, I grew up around to many Mennonite people who would brush paint everything shiny on their cars black, including hub caps. I think that's why I don't like black wheels...lol

My daughters 97 did this too and shortly after that started she had a major hard line failure.

BOOM, all ready to go.

I couldn't pass on the buy 3 get one free and free shipping!

I bought this bumper like 2 years ago after seeing a member on here use the same one on his Ex. After the lift and tires are on then it will be time to finally put it on.

They do look awesome, Thanks to 410 for the recommendation! I was torn between the 10.5 and the 12.5 but after asking around I went with the 33 12.5 x 15.

The meats came today! I don't see how these things can't be awesome! The Pro Comp 51 steelies came 2 days ago and I scuffed them with scotchbright so I could spray them charcoal grey. Black wheels really isn't my thing and back in the early to mid 90s I had charcoal grey wagon wheels on...

Yeah, it was close to $600 then after 3-4 weeks when they are done you need to pay shipping. Shipping from Colorado to Pennsylvania would be killer. I'm leaning towards the 6'' skyjackers like I posted or just do some F 150 franken leaves.

The new wheels came today, no idea on the tires. They are still in processing. I'm leaning hard toward the 6'' Ranger Skyjacker springs. If they give me 4.5'' like in the post above I could easily level the front up with a tiny TT.

In my research I found this old thread from 09 I believe and this was one post. Very helpful info!

Thanks gmanpaint, I filled out Alcans form so we will see what they say. EDIT.... I got my quote and they aren't much cheaper then Deavers at all.

Neither place you mentioned makes Explorer springs of course but they do make Ranger springs. I have heard that Ranger springs are the same as EX but are 1 1/2'' lower or less arch. These do have the same arch as the EX Superlift springs. FR34S – Softride Leaf Spring | Skyjacker Suspensions I...

One of the leaf packs had a broken center bolt so I tore that one apart first to clean up and paint. Well, I found some not so great news. The main leaf has a crack that is a few inches long coming from the center bolt hole. Now I need to get two new main leaves. We have a few spring shops in...

I don't see any foam on the stick. The shot of the fill hole is condensation and it happens.

So it presses the torsion bars from the lower control arms? EDIT..... I finally found a video showing this tool in use, it releases the key. I asked because I have a set of junk yard control arms with the T Bars rusted fast to them and was wondering if this would help.

What does this do exactly?

Ordered the 12.5s tonight. Thanks guys

I see, so the extra inch of wheel width from the 15x8 3.75 backspace is split front and back.

I'm torn between the 33 10.5 or the 33 12.5 since I have never been around a lifted EX before. The 12.5 was the only choice for my 79 Bronco but this EX is a ton lighter and even being heavy the old Bronco would pull hard when you hit puddles. Not knowing if the 12.5 will rub at all is my main...
