First I would just like to say how impressed I am with the knowledge you all have about Explorers, and Rangers. I just joined the site, and could sit all day reading the how to threads, etc... I'm not real informed about the Ex I drive and I am curious about the type of trans, gears, and what it all means. Going by what you have posted, my '93 Ex has the BW 1354 t-case, 8.8" (41) open diff with 3.27 gears, and a dana 35 in front.
The real reason I'm interested is I want to upgrade things a bit in the future. I've driven the same truck for 13 yrs mostly stock, and feel it is about time I BEEF it up a little! I'm thinking of a moderate lift of 4", bigger wheels and tires, and if needed different gearing and other engine mods.
Since I don't go off road alot YET, I would want it to still be streetable. I guess one of my questions would be....do these changes I'm thinking about making, make the truck really rough driving on the road, and hard to keep balanced, as far as tires and front end goes?
18 yr old, trapped in a 47 yr old body, looking for a positive change!!
Still going strong after over 301K on the same engine, no work!
