I'm new to forums but wanted to give it a shot. I've read many post and followed a lot of links in my research and still come up a little lacking in the information I need to build my Expo to my ideal specs.
I am currently working on a 2002 Ford Expedition XLT AWD/4x4 with a 5.4L V8. The truck is an EX Daily Driver with very little modifying. I does have a 2" torsion bar lift in the front and a 2" coil spacer in the rear. This setup alloes me to fit approx 34x12.50x17. The wheels are factory 17x8 5 lugs.
Here's my conundrum and hope for a resolution to my stall. I want to increase the towing capacity to pull pretty much any trailer including travel trailers, obviously tongue pull only. I also want the truck to sit comfortable on 36"-38" tires running trails while in the woods Off-Road. I want lockers front and rear and know my gearing will need changed but I don't know what to go to. I'm also fairly sure to achieve my hopes I will need to go to new axles and leafs. That's ballpark of what I'm dealing with, any help or advice appreciated. Thank you.
