    my sons new to him 98 lifted

    Correct. The 3" Body block goes on top of the stock body bushing. That paint came out GREAT! Needs some touch up's but over all its come along way! You should sand/wire brush the frame and IFS system and paint them black/por15/ ect That would make it look very clean. I wouldnt worry...

    Correct, 95 year IRRC the Front end brackets were welded not bolted/rivited or what ever they do. 96 IRRC had different Speed sensor locations. If you were going to try to use the motor tranny that came with it, You would want 97+ IRRC. If not. then 96+ would work if your going to use all...

    what to do...

    x2 I would do the offroad stuff all at once. Stereo can hold off and you can save up for bigger and better stuff that wont blow up down the road.

    my sons new to him 98 lifted

    Im going to disagree with you both. If you look at his pictures 1. Its a sport should have a Mono leaf. It either has after market springs or 4dr leaf packs. Im going to say after market springs. So The rear is lifted. 2. The torsions bar cross member is lowered. 3. you can barely see but...

    super swamper ltb

    normaly if you can fit a 12.5 you can fit a 10.5 easier. It would be better to go with a 8" Wide rim, with around 3.75 to 4" of back spacing. If your doing the TT,shackles, and 3" BL you should have a problem running the 33's at all. With a 2.5tt and shackles Im running a 32x10.5 on a 8" Rim...

    bigger tires

    I had 32x10.5's on my explorer stock. Youll have to trim the bumper maybe a 1/5 inch and if you have plastic tupperware across the bottom youll want to remove the piece that connects to the fender. After that I was good to go and was fine. After a 2.5"tt , AAL and war153s I have more then...

    lift-a-'98

    And dangerous. Flimsy with no center cross brass for support to prevent them from swaying side to side on turns. Also not DOT approved. Warriors, may seem over priced when your viewing them online. Intil you get them in your hands and can see the build quality. The differance between stock...
