Hello fellow ex owners. Ive finally decided to make my first post. Its been 5 years since I discovered this forum and for some reason i never got around to posting anything. Anyways this is my Explorer. Pics are from 2008. I'm currently saving up for a Dixon bros kit for the front end, in the rear i'm gonna go deaver leafs with through the bed shocks and cage. New wheels, tires, gears, blah blah blah. If anyone has any experience with this setup, advice is much needed. Originally I wanted to go solid axle up front with deaver leafs and a good tuned shock. But I just think it would be too expensive, and I have zero fab experience. My skill set is much different then what is needed here. Though its not completely out of the question. Thanks for reading this far by the way.
