If you swap in coils and leaf springs from the explorer, you're driveshaft should be fine, I've heard up to 4" lift on the driveshaft question. The Explorer springs will lift you about 2-2.5". When it comes to the heads, go with world products.

I have 31's on mine right now, if you look in my gallery those are 265 75 15's which is basically .5" shorter than the 31's and the 31's are a little wider, and I've had no rubbage at all, and I've done a little offroading, nothing to big, but I've gone over quite a few deep bumps going about 35 and I haven't bottomed out, and I also don't have a lift of any sort on mine.
