Red face need some advice?

There are some Things that i need to fix that anyone can help me with? I'm a
do it yourselfer kinda kid and this truck I DO NOT want to give up my dad
owned it 11 years and it has not stopped from any job we've done with it. I
don't care what it takes to fix it. i prefer to do it myself if i can.

1: door lock Actuators they are old and I've got the replacement part's from
ford. I just need a guide to follow to replace the,.
2: Window motor replaced but it keep rolling down and throw the window off
track?
3: When i pull the steering collum down the turn signals stop working but
when it's up they work just fine. they say i need a new regulator arm but i
say bullshiit. cause they just want to make money and they work just fine
when its pulled up. high beams and all.

Some other things that I need help with is i got some extra cash and I want
to get a 8000K HID lights. ive got the stock lights on it but i would like
some blueish looking headlights. so if someone could point me to a good site
thats doesnt B.S. that would be great.

Another thing im looking to do to this truck is give it a lift but i want it
to have a preruuner stance( front a little higher then the back ). I just
replaced the whole engine and transmission in it and it's time to have a
little fun with it.

Here are some pictures of it. I will take more if ankyone needs a specific
part of the truck photographed.

I did a little reasearch on the lifts for that higher front end prerunner look and this is what I found im not sure if its some the will look right. Or even fit for that matter. And it seems to me that something is missing? Like there something else I need to buy.

Door lock actuators shouldn't be that hard. Access like you would window motor and have a little patience.

#2... with your door panel removed... re-connect window power switch and observe the movement of the window regulator/window tracks to narrow your situation.

#3 would be the multi-function switch which controls turn signal/wipers/hi beams... it most likely has a broken wire from constant steering tilt. Follow safety procedures to remove the airbag, remove steering wheel to access the multi-function switch
