We're using a camburg l/t race kit for the front. We got a killer deal on it and it turns out that it was the first one that they ever made. The back will be 4-linked with a kit from a guy here in Oregon. We'll be using a Solo cage. We're switching out the 5r55e for a 5r55s, which means we have to yank the entire wiring harness and use one out of a 2002 to 2004 explorer that had that transmission. We have a setup to replace the steering rack with a swing set system since they have a tendency to break often from abuse.
