Need a little help
Need a little help
Okay I am getting everything lined up to start dropping some money into my truck, but I am little worried about my engine so I want to run this by everyone. FATHERFORD and I are gonna put set of underdrive pullies and e-fans on my truck. I am also gonna get the edge. I want to put a 6" suspension and 3" body and 37" procomps. I know I am going to need to regear what should I got to 4.56's or 4.88's? I think I have just everything thought out but I wanted to see if anyone thinks I would have problems seeing as how I only have the 4.6....
Did I leave anything out? I am gonna stay with the stock rims also.. So far the cheapest I have the bl's are like $289 from 4wheel parts.

I really don't see a reason why someone can't clear 37s on stock rims with either a body lift/spacer or just a 6" suspension lift. People are clearing 35x12.50s on spacers all day long. I haven't seen it done, but it makes sense.

lots of people have 35's on just a leveling kit. So if I put a 6" I would definitely clear...I still want to be able to wheel though. It isn't a priority but I don't like passing up chances. How does my drive train look? You think the 4.6 can handle it?
entrevino, I didn't realize you had a 4.6. I've seen loads of cash dumped into them and still putting 16 sec 1/4 mile times down. I feel for you but I would save a little money and try a trade in. Did you buy Troyer's e-fans? Good luck with those controllers, they're going to break on you sometimes, myself, bigtruck311, and about 3 others from fordtruckworld have had them break on us and they won't replace them, one guy had one of them replaced but they charged him for abuse on the other, they claim it takes a lot of pressure to bust the temperature control pots but I just want to warn you, it's very easy.

, i am not looking to get speed i just want it to run and run good. it doesn't have to be fast that's what I got my bike for. I will be getting the fans through jusnes (spelling?) i am just wonderin if it will run good and pull if i wanted to pull a trailer. i am not too worried about being able to light them up it would be nice though...so you think i should trade? right now i think it runs fine. so that is why i think i add all the stuff and then lift it i will be where i am at now...




hopefully I can be good to go by the 4th of July...need to start saving.
