Thanks ya you should definatly get her off the ground. I installed my add-a-leafs and hella's lastnight. I'll get some pictures when the weather clears up.

i'll be interested to see pics with your add-a-leafs! I know mine really picked up the back of mine. Now I just need to order shackles and crank the t-bars.

Russ its looking good! i might have a deal on some used 33 super swampers so not sure if 1in BL would be enough for those. Got a good deal on a used set of 4.10s so once those go in and get re-tuned ill be lifted and locked.

Thanks man! Nice! 1" body lift might be just enough, My 33's only rubbed a tad on the front inner wheel well with the sway bar off on the trails...

Like the new lift! Looking good! I like the herculined fender flairs but I'm not too sure about the body color on the bumper. I think if you herculined that part instead it might flow better... excited to see pics either way though!

Took her out for her first real wheelin trip today...

The 4406 is AWESOME!

Truck sure is looking good, as shined up as it is in those pics, its almost like it would have been an Explorer ad back in the day.

AAL are mine, if cost is lower than me ordering them new.

 

[Glen4X4]

If he doesn't get the AAL for some reason then I would like them and have paypal.

I'm interested in the body lift spacers and warrior shackles!

 

[EK98]

That sucks about having no time.. I know how you feel. I just have to say though I don't think anyone's trucks have ever gone through so many suspension changes as yours have lol.

ok im going to start working and hopefully finish it tomorrow. Ill let you guys know when I have everything off.

Be prepared to do some denting of your floor to get that 4406 to clear without the body lift, that was the only reason I even did it was to clear the giant case easier.

 

[99ex22]

Yeah luckily I dented the floor in before I put it in just in case. Lets hope I dented it in enough!

 

[99ex22]

alright 7 1/2 hours later and she's done! drives 90% better than it did this morning. only problem is it feels like it's miss firing when your sitting in it at idle...im wondering if the transfer case is touching somewhere sending the vibrations of the engine through the body?

 

[99ex22]

took care of the vibration....the linkage was just barely touching the body so I jammed a screw driver in there and bent it in now time to tint the windows, 5.0 emblems and remove the rear cats. Torque monster headers and a tune are coming tax return time.

 

[99ex22]

this thing is now a death trap in the rain!

 

[ford99_1979]

Because you were used to the AWD and now just 2wd?
