93EBXplorer: I couldn't live without my 4.10 gears. I do a lot of camping and H2O skiing and with the original gears I felt live I was driving a VW bus. It would bog down on hills fully loaded. So I would advise getting them if you tow anything or do alot of hill driving. Get the 133 springs and install the adustable rancho shocks to compensate for the terrian and driving style. If you won't be off roading very much then you probaly don't need the steering stabalizer, I don't have one and have'nt had a problem on or off road, yet! The 5.5" superlift comes with extended radius arms. The kit should come complete. Call up super lift to find out exactly 1-800-551-4955.

So did the 4.10 gears bring your truck back up to stock performance or what? About the adjustable shocks,i think i might just get the plain ol' rancho 5000 shocks. I'm not gonna be offroad enough to need to adjust my shocks. And from my understanding the only time you really need adjust. shocks is if u do some serious offroading. Correct me if im wrong,which i prob. am. Thanks,Ryan
The 4.10's brought it back to almost stock performance. I actually like it better now. Especially since I do a lot of camping a pulling a boat. Also helped out tremendously on the long uphills and offroad. I haven't really played with my shocks while wheeling. I utilize it more when on the freeway (high speeds and need the stiffness of the shocks for turning quickly so you don't feel the body roll or roll the truck) and when on logging roads that get really bumpy I set them soft so I don't feel every bump. Hope this helps, any more questions, let them fly.
I'd say more torque. You won't be able to cruz at 100mph but I can cruz at 75-80mph sitting at 3000rpm which is comfortable. I have 4wd and currently running 32's soon to go to 33's.
