Welcome to the site. I'm in Gwinnett County. Like CodePoet said, go with an SAS. If you plan/want 35+, definitely go with an SAS. I've started collecting the parts for the SAS and mine will hopefully be completely in the next 3 or so months. For now it's time to trash the TTB. Mine will have a fullwidth dana 44 front, ford 9" rear, mini spool rear, some locker in front, 4.88s, 36-37s, about 7-8" of lift and a little trimming to keep down the CoG. Let us know if you have any questions, and more importantly, use the search feature. We have a few sub forums (SAS registry, Offroad Explorer projects, etc) that have VERY helpful info on the SAS on your Explorer.

what bmx said...for the price of the lift kit for your ifs i'll have both my axles rebuilt...same setup as bmx (He rides on my coat tales...thinks i'm the man or something lol), all the suspension and probably even gears. And you'll get better flex, better clearance...just a better setup IMHO!

Thats my long run plans.The 8.8 is of the better breads so that I'll be keepin it and then work on gettin an older 44,and convert it to discs if its drums.
It may take me a while cause my main trail rig is a F250 with 60's at each end,205 t-case and a 4spd.
