Finalizing Upgrade Plans...

[sweaver76]

after much research on the boards here, this is what i've come up with...

got a 2000 XLT 4dr, 4.0 sohc, 4.10, 16x7 rims.

This week, I am starting my project, and I would love some input or potential problems.

2" TT up front
warrior shackles & AAL in rear.
3" body lift (from the ranger i guess)
33x12.5 (BFG AT KO's???-mostly road, 10-15% off road)

Where do my problems lie that await me....
Are rims to small? Front not high enough? 4.10 Gearing for 33's?

AND...suggestions for doing something different.
any ideas for up front besides a TT?

If it is 2wd you could use lift spindles in the front instead of TT. But if it's 4x4 TT is your best option. I also recommend getting wider rims, 16x8 or 15x8. Tires for 15" rims are also a bit cheaper, as well as the rims. The 4.10 gearing is gonna be ok, but you will notice a big difference. I have 4.30s right now and like that a lot. Since you came stock with 4.10s though you might want to go with 4.56s (or 4.88s but probably not).

Sounds like a great plan!
