They're isn't much you can do about the lifter tick short of spending some money on new lifters. Even then it's no guarantee that it won't still be there. Oh and you have to pull the heads to replace them. You could replace the engine with a 4.0 from an explorer. It's a bolt in deal other then wiring up the fuel injection.

four liter swap is at the top of my list of things to do. the 2.8 sucks and other than its fuel injected i dont think the2.9 is much better. IM still on the hunt to find some tires. I need to go through my front end there has been some strange noises comming from it after i went and played last time. I have my eye on the rough country 3" lift and some decent shocks. anyone have any experance with these lifts?

A bracket lift is a bracket lift for the most part. Where the difference is, is the spring and shock quality. If I still had a ranger/bronco I'd get a James Duff kit. Good price, good quality and local .. They got good quality shocks and springs. I think their coils are progressive rate too.

FYI James Duff hasn't been local for a couple years. They moved back east. Tenessee I believe.

A pickup without the advantage of a place to haul stuff. Makes perfect sense to me.
You already have secure and dry storage, I'd rock what ya got.
