Warn makes a hub conversion kit, I think you will need to contact Randy Ring and Pinion to get it now. Lift has many options, 1.5-inch spacer and shackle, 4 -inch brackets and SUA, 5.5 brackets and SUA and I think Skyjacker makes an 8-inch. Axles may be a problem with anything over 33s. You can do an explorer 8.8 rear axle swap (31-spline). I am not sure if you have the D28 0r 35. Try the rangerstation.com for everything teck.
I have a 91 explorer 5.5 inch superlift, 33x12.5x15 BFG KMs, 4.56 axle ratio, bilstien shocks, Imco cat back exhaust.

Just make sure you do everything the right way, and no short-cuts. I didn't know much about lifting trucks my first truck/suv I had that was lifted, and I had a lot of problems with it.

I had a magnaflow exhaust on my '03 4runner and it sounded really good.
edit: if you got big money I'd go with a borla exhaust though...they're beast.
