Thanks to 410Fortune in another thread about tires I am going with these bad boys. https://www.4wd.com/p/dick-cepek-33x10-50r15lt-tire-extreme-country-72530-90000024324/_/R-BGXJ-90000024324

Newest thing to throw money at. Junkyard Score! EX Superlift Kit!

95% of the time this thing is my daily driver, on road. I drove a 79 Bronco for 18 years before I got the EX and they have radius arm brackets hanging down so I think it will be same old, same old to me.

Any input as far as fitment with wheels like these and 33s...

New shocks, end link bushings, spring center bolts and whatever else I ordered is supposed to be delivered today!

The other side of the centering head is the end of the drive shaft. If that is screwed up you'll need a new shaft.

Of the 3 choices in engines that would be the weakest link in general.

I assume you are talking about the centering head? I have always found them at NAPA.

I drove a 79 Bronco for 18 years until I got my Ex because I liked them and they are simple to work on. I got the EX because they are simple to work on and I can still have a v8 and after some tinkering I still have my manual 4x4 with lockers and a v8. When Explorers are hard to find (like the...

According to the Superlift shock chart in the link I posted above the correct front shocks are #85331 and the rears are #85151. Summit racing has both in stock so I ordered them. If you look for them on Superlifts site they don't come up unless you search the part numbers.

The problem is Rancho don't make a +4 front shock for the EX or Ranger. Superlift is the only one who make both front and rear +4 as far as a direct bolt on.

The problem is that will get you Ranger shocks. The fronts will work but the rears do not so it's not that simple. Besides I finally found an old Superlift shock chart that goes by vehicle and I posted it above. This chart should be a sticky for how hard it is to find info on these shocks...

I finally came across this on the ranger station. https://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/pdf_documents/superlift_shocks-superide.pdf I would prefer Rancho 5000 shocks so I'm still looking but I can only find the 2'' TT length shocks. I hate all the photos in shock adds not looking like...

Luckily, my brother helps him at his JY every other weekend so I get a pretty good idea of what's new. I got a pile of brand new factory shackles and gas filler necks with the Ford stickers still on them. My bro just keeps grabbing them, might have to start selling some. I'm having a hard time...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! This year I am thankful that my brother knows a dude that owns a junkyard and gave him a heads up that he just got in an EX with a lift. Turns out it was the old Superlift with leaf springs! He left us go into his yard and get this lift today even being closed...

03 04 Cobras and gt500 don't go off-roading often...lol For a weekend warrior I'd agree but for an offroad only vehicle I say spool.

With a SAS I thought someone on here used block huggers in the past.

Here's another. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/snh-ff6302p/applications/?ibanner=SREPD2

Anyone use these? I know you'd need to run all new pipes but do they fit without frame mods? 4.7/5.0/5.8 HUGGER TIGHT TUCK FIT EXHAUST HEADER MANIFOLD FOR FORD SMALL BLOCK | eBay Summit Racing Block Hugger Headers Natural 1 5/8" Primaries G9063 | eBay

If this is a play vehicle I'd just spool it and replace the bearings. A solid pinion spacer is not a bad idea as well.

If the seats measure the same then just swap the EX sliders over to the new seats.

Hold on there captain gear head, are you saying I use the cheapest thing I can find? You'd be wrong, but is there anything wrong with that....no. At one time basic cheap gear oil was speced for the 8.8 then the spec went to synthetic. So like I said, anything you throw in it will be fine with...

And some of us have rebuilt rears for over 20 years so don't think I'm a newb just spouting off.

Wow, all this over gear oil. If you fill it with any oil made for rear ends it will be fine. If you fill it with oil with no friction modifier in it then add some if you wish. If you add some that already has FM in it then don't add any....or go ahead and add more. It really don't matter.

The second problem means you need to change the ATF.

I had it on plenty of hills parked, it would not move. I think they can break differently and some drift and some don't.

I know, that's what people say but mine never moved.

I drove mine for almost a year without the front drive shaft and it never moved. I wonder if it has something to do with how the AWD unit breaks because mine parked perfect.

I know right, I did mine and cat back system and new fuel pump in a week end. And the 4406 and drive shafts only cost me $100 from the junk yard....best $100 I ever spent!

Yup, do the 4406 swap and never look back.

It's not tight enough or the flare is damaged if it's leaking.

Koda gets it, If your going to cut off the bolt heads and then weld a nut on your just doing busy work. Rape and pillage the timing cover first then work the bolts out and if they break you can still weld a nut on but why do that first?

Do you see where this should have been the first way you attacked it? If you left the bolt heads on you could have simply used a socket to twist the bolt out once you freed it from the timing cover.

The bottom DS in my pic shows the one I used and it worked perfect. The part number matches your second to last pic.

The hardlines should have a flared end so no, no need for sealant.

You obviously have to flip them round no matter what they say.

Since you have a new timing cover I would take a chisel and destroy the timing cover where those bolts go through. It is full of corrosion and once you open up the area you can start soaking it with your favorite penetrating oil.

I would put the limited slip in the rear and a lunch box locker up front. If you ever add lockout hubs it would drive bone stock on the street and be an animal off road.

I ment this post, you can add them to a limited carrier.
