So I'm building a Ford/Nissan hybrid prerunner, and I am trying to figure out the best way to get travel in the rear suspension. I can find kits for the front all day, but Google has failed me for rear end mods.

Basic rundown of the planned build: 2004 Nissan Xterra with currently 3" of suspension lift. Ol' Blue will be getting a 351W based V8 built to at least 450ft-lbs (still working the kinks on the engine plan) and either a built up C6 or AOD. If I convert to 4WD, a NP205 T-case. And out back will be a Ford 9" with Limited slip and 4.56 gears. Bumping the tires to 305/70R16's over the current 265/70R16's.

So what have you guys done to your Rangers to get lots of travel in the rear? Since I am dropping in a 9", I can tweak or weld almost anything I need.

Thanks in advance.
