Ouch, 3.27s with 33s!

4.10 or 4.56 gears will make it feel like a whole new truck! It will almost feel like you have a permanent shot of nitrous :)
 












so how do i get thows and are thay hrd to put in:p can i get them from ford of what.:rolleyes:
 






I recommend Randy's Ring and Pinion. They should be professionally installed.

I also recommend getting some sort of traction aid at least for the rear (locker, good ls).

For gears, parts, install, and a rear locker you're probably looking at around $1200-1300 for both axles.
 






cool thanks
 






If you need some info on regearing NAK4AF is putting 4.56 gears in his 93 Sport. We are going to be swapping out his 3.73's in front and rear and adding an Aussie locker to the front and rebuilding the LS in rear.

If you can't afford to go all out on the re-gearing I would suggest getting the rear carrier swapped from an Open carrier to a LS and you can pick up some 3.73's cheap. But you will have to do front and rear. I see the 3.73's on Ebay quite often for reasonable prices.

Chris will be taking his truck to Ft Rich's hobby shop to do all the work so unless you are military it would be difficult to come watch.
 






:) to tell the truth i am militery that is what the numbers in my user id stand for . and at fort rich hobby shop is where i met nak4af and he told me about this sight . isnt that cool when are you two goint there:D i was wanting to get some 4.10 or 3.73 and put them in there at the hobby shop . whaat do you think ?
 






I think Chris was talking about doing it sometime toward the end of June over a weekend.

Well cool, keep in touch. If you are looking to make some mods to your Ex we can assist you or you can assist us whatever works.

If you need items for your Ex drop me a note I am getting quite a stockpile of items since I own 3 Explorers.
 






Might as well go 4.10 or 4.56, 3.73 is a little too high for 33s.
 






I think i am going to go with the 4.10 becouse of the mpg i am going to be gon in june 16 untill septeber 12 so i wont see you here in a bit but i will try and se if i can figur out how to post pics of my x it looks a lot beter then it use to . i will give you a yell for some help to get those gears on if you can help?:D
 






Maybe a mute point, but just so you know, you have to re gear both ends, front and rear.;)
