Lifted the Bronco...

[Skidmark]

I like the new look...

I think some beefy black ranch hand style bumpers would look good now.

I have never done that lift, but I can imagine it was hard, I pulled all the twin I beam stuff off my F150 when I did the solid axle with leaf springs install on the front, it is a bitch to grind/hammer out those rivets and bolts. I still haven't finished mine, still need to build a drag link for it, was going to use the F350 stuff but cannot get the range of movement that is needed out of the joint that is on the pitman arm end.

Not trying to rain on your parade sir. I thought it looked better before. Doesn't look bad now, but I like the before picture personally

No worries. I liked it before as well but wanted a little more clearance for off road stuff. As I said, the old wheels weren't great because of the backspacing and even with the 31x10.50's they rubbed the radius arms at less than full lock.

I would love some custom bumpers but what I would want average $700 each.. Not worth the money.

The rivets actually came off a little easier than I expected, some of the drilling was more difficult. If I had to do it again it would go much faster, much of it was trying to figure out how to accomplish stuff that the instructions either got wrong, out of order, or just left off all together.

And I got it done just in time!

so now where are the pics of it in the mud???

Actually.. I found some a little earlier.



Granted, it was brief and nothing too difficult.

You're doing that Bronco proud Chili, good work. Doing your own installs solo is rewarding...

The more I look at it, the more I think those black wheels are alright. Either way, you can rattle can them if you ever get bored of them.

Excuse me sir, may I suggest an add-a-leaf to the rear?

It's a bad angle and the front should settle some, it actually sits pretty level.. But eventually I'm going to completely replace the leafs. They are original to the Bronco and are a bit bouncy.

broncos need a bit of rake, sir. You will like the new springs, even an AAL will stiffen it up a bit and make it stand up straight.
No slouching.

Looks good.

Did you say that was a mud pic? I thought you just drove thru the yard or something. LOL

Looks great, dude!

[mstng86]

Looks good. I still drive by one of these for sale all the time and wonder what is wrong with it. I don't have the money and time to figure out though.

[Big A]

Save some money, and drive it out to Vegas.

Looks awesome dude.

I wish I lived closer to the Metroplex. I have a shop with lift and full of tools that never gets used.

I'll be happy to use it for you
