My MII gets here this week. I'll be pulling the 47 to the body shop to install. But I've been thinking about the rear end since the tires are dry rotted. I'm thinking why buy 2 14 inch tires when i need the rear end changed anyway? But this a big thing too, as I'm reading, to put thought into.
My priority is highway driving, but would like some power too. I will not be going to the track, like ever, but would like some passing power and some tire burning. It would also be nice to kick some teen pride down a notch 0-60. My motor should be 325-400 hp. I will put 18s or 20s on the rear. Not sure what transmission, but overdrive is a must.
Since I have a mopar, id like to keep mopar, but im having major problems finding pertinent information and help on this. Im still toying with and trying to accept the idea that I probably am going to have to have a multi branded truck (Dodge, Ford, Chevy?). I havent quite accepted it yet.
I'm looking at the explorer rear end, for the disk and also similar 5.5 bolt pattern. Thats what I ordered the MII in, Ford pattern.
Please help! I'm having hotrod anxiety over this choice.
