Hello everyone.

91' Explorer V6, 5-speed, 4x4 that I'd like to ditch the IFS on. I'm new to the forum's here and havn't done a search yet so if it is a re-occuring post, please forgive me.

What is involved with this:
What axle should I look for? (TJ/YJ D30?) Is it the right width?
Should I go for leaf or coil springs and which will be more difficult to install? (I think I'd like to go for coils if the links wouldn't be that difficult to do..)
Are there ANY kits that could help with any option?

Problems to look forward too? Height potential or limit from the swap? (looking for 3-5" maximum, currently 2" over stock w/ larger coils and leaf-add running 30"s (thinking about 31-33"))
