Almost to 90k miles, what all should be done? (Lift? :P)

[fr0st m0nkey]

So I'm approaching the 90k mark on my 04 XLT v6. I just had to take it to the stealership when my 'service engine soon' last week and they said I'd need a 90k service done. What all do they do for maintenance at 90k? My suspension squeaks pretty loudly going over speed bumps and I already knew that I need new ball joints, what kind of things do I need to do to make my explorer not sound like a hoopty? I also need new tires and I want to run 265/75/16s so I think I need a small lift. I want to maintain as much flex as possible so I'm thinking either a 3" BL or new coils (although I haven't looked at any replacement coils yet). As far as the engine goes, I was thinking a tranny flush + synthetic oil. I replaced the serpentine belt and fuel filters a couple months ago.

Thanks everyone

If you just want to run 265/75/16 you can run those at stock height.

I just dropped my truck off this morning for her 90k (86k) tuneup

I asked for the following:
Front Brakes
Rear Brakes
Fuel Filter Change
Transmission Change (keep the old fluid, just change the filter element)
Radiator Flush (few months back i had some overheating issues, engine is still running fine. Had to add about a gallon of water because I was on the road at the time and it's never a bad idea to do it!)

Crossing my fingers that everything comes out okay I'm not worried about the brakes/radiator (might need new radiator hoses, they were a little squishy last time I was under the hood) but the transmission has go me worried. It's just the hassle, because I DO have the ESP with time left on the clock, I just don't want to mess around with something that isn't broken

What did that tune up run you price wise??

I meant to say 285/75/16, my apologies.

You're gonna need spacers for anything wider than a 265 in order to clear the steering knuckle.

I just hit 90K also, wanting to do some more mods, not to much $ tho. any ideas?

Why would you only want to change the transmission filter and not the fluid? more than half of the fluid comes out when you drop the pan anyways?
