hey guys im gunna basically list everything i wanna do so any inout would be fantastic. I bought the truck for 500 bux now its a 97 5.0 that said it is missing the front drive shaft it has over 158000 miles on it but still looks goood i have so far added a whole bunch of injector/fuel system cleaner to the car. I want to check the plugs because there definately old so any reccomendation? the coil blocks look kinda beat up but idk how to tell if they need to be replaced. shocks are original so there gunna need to be done asap?? the exhaust it also original so idk cats still ok? i plan to cut the rear 2 out and put a new sytem on maybe gibson? next i am going under the truck this weekend and doing a torsion twist and ordering shackles is it better to build my own or just order the war 153 ones. than with winter coming i need to replace the drive shaft i has been out for almoist 15 thousand miles is there any damge or just it be a basic straight replacement? and whats the biggest widest tire that can go on with out any further work? would spacers help? from there idk where should i move too?

Why was the drive shaft out of it when you bought it?

A rebuilt one will run you $225-250.
 






wow thats a helluva steal. Welcome to the forum man.
 






well besides up keep stuff ide say a simple cold air intake and exhaust by Mac. Will only run u about 420 for both. then if ur feeling "shifty" (note the clever wordplay ^_^) go for a shift kit that will run about 160. check out this site its good for simple explorer stuff for good prices www.explorerexpress.com
 






coool guys that shaft was out b/c it broke from rough driving and where do i find mac products and tire size? im looking for a wide stance it looks tiny stock.
 






welcome
