Welcome!

A couple companies made crappy sets, but the 4.0's don't like to be underdriven anyways. I wouldn't do it.
 






besides...

What do you really want to live without: power steering? A/C? stereo?

What's an underdrive pulley?
 






It's a smaller pulley that goes on either alternator, A/C, or water pump. The smaller pulleys slow down the speed of the belt so it uses less HP to power these accessories.
 






actually, the pulleys usually go on the crank and the water pump. putting a smaller pulley on the ac or power steering pump would just make them spin faster, not slow down the whole belt.
 






My mustang ran 10.56 at 141mph and NEVER did I put pullies on it. Don't do it!! Pullies do not make sense on an X. These guys here can offer a lot more than pullies and your truck wont suffer. Good luck.
