I don't think you need that much axle. First thing you would have had to regear them. Even if you do it yourself that's still around $600 more...

That would mean I'd get 39's or 40's to match the axles.
Oh, forgot to mention, ARB front and rear.

I need to start playing the lottery.

Looks like I need to change some valve cover gaskets...kept smelling oil and the exhaust manifold is covered with oil. Just started leaking like crazy all of a sudden. Not really looking forward to it. Getting to cold outside.

And, since I will have the motor torn apart, might as well change a few sensors and plug wires and any other crap that needs replaced.

I need new lights badly, I've seen these on eBay for a while. Are they any good? Or is it a waste of money?

usually the lights off eBay aint the best quality.. but they work fine. we have some similar on the explorer, different b/c the ex is different... but the pic looks to be the same company layout design thingy... i like them for the price.

i paid more for the ones on my b2 but i got them from LMC, and they are true glass.. not plastic. but i doubt you could find any glass ones for truck

I have those HID I took out of the other truck that will go in the new housings. Maybe they will go in the projector and normal bulbs in the other?

do they give you the wiring for the "projector"

and no, its not a real projector setup for HIDs.. i wouldn't do it, but if you want HIDs i'd just order some from DDMtuning.com in the bulb setup you need. what is yours? 9004??
if so get the 9004 35watt 4500k hi/low setup and call it a day with your new housings. however, HIDs are not meant to be in fake projector or nonprojector housings... but many people do it. i have a set of h3 bulbs coming for my hella's.... to bad their shipping takes forever
