Hi. I am taking over a family 01 Merc Mounty with a 5.0 V8 that I want to do some mods to.
I am happy that I found this forum, because it looks like most of you have already pioneered and championed the cause - so thanks for that.
I will be looking to lift the Mounty and convert the AWD to a selective 4wd using the BW4406. I want to get some larger wheels/tires and make this baby into a bit of a rock crawler. I haven't looked to see what the stock differentials are but I would imagine I will have to change these out once I find out what size tires (looks like the largest reasonable tire is about a 31"?) I will put on.
One question I have is does anyone know if there are any readily available 3-4" suspension lift kits available for 2nd gen Mountys or do you have to do it piece meal?
I will keep reading threads, but if anyone wants to point me in the right direction along the way - I sure won't complain.
I guess
