Well it is time for a new project. The goal of this rig is to be the "family" rig with good back seat and such for kids.

Current specs:
2001 Ford Explorer Sprort
109K miles
103" Wheel Base
68" Tall
15' Long
68" Wide
235 tire ~28"
and 2wd

Plans:
Transmission Tailhouse conversion (5R55W 2wd and 4wd are same besides the tailhouse part)
STAKK 3speed
Axles will either be Bronco's current 60/10.25 or old 44/9" that Nix has now. I'd like the 44/9" but that is limited to when he does his conversion to 1-ton and I want to do this sooner than later.

Tires will be 35-37" with the 44/9" combo
or 39.5" that I already have with 60/10.25 combo

I want to keep this think 80-82" tall so it fits in the garage good

So at 68" tall I have 14" to play with.

I figure 6" lift from the 39.5"s so that puts me to 8" of lift

It will be leafsprung in the back. and coil up front.

I may do leaf-springs up front but that would require the spring hangers on the bumper because the frame is 28.5" to 32" wide up front... it will depend on which axle combo I go with also.

This is just the planning stages but I will be getting parts together soon also.
