Nice expy!

98 4.6. I'm pretty sure it's a four inch lift. Stock 3.55's, open diff. 35" Toyo M/T's.

That is nice. Looks like more than 4" from this angle though. It must use a drop-diff type lift on front? I thought those were all 6" minimum? If it really is just 4", I'd be interested to know what kit it is.

Yes they make 4in drop diff lifts, they cost the same as a 6in bought are strong, what I did was get a 4-5 inch suspension lift from a f150 (its on its way got it on eBay) only 1000$ and just got a 3in spacer for rear.

I searched through the service history. My parents kept all the repair orders. It is a Rancho Box kit. Doesn't specify how much lift. Is assumed it is a 4". Could be a 6".

How are the 3.55 gears holding up to your 35s?

So far so good. I inspected the rear diff earlier this year. Checked fluid condition, and installed an aftermarket cover. Gears are in good shape. Vehicle still has some oomph when I step on it. Gas mileage is probably terrible. I don't stress the drivetrain much at all. My parents have been driving this beast with 35's since 50k miles. Has 127k now. Never had any issues. Of course it hasn't been abused really.

Love the headlights from Reece and the lift on Tyrell. Any more info on these two Expys?

My Expy has 2" rear coil spacers and 3" front lift keys but only cranked 1/4 of the way and custom front diff drop for CV joint angle

The CV joint angle is one of my concerns with lifting this thing at all... only looking at doing the 3/2 lift, but still worried about it increasing stress on an already "old" system (18 years old with 167K miles on it)... when I used to race, one axiom that was omnipresent "If you want to play, you have to pay"...
