What size is it, 7.00-15?
Click to expand...

L78-15LTs which according to the website are 30" in diameter... I thought maybe I would end up with a 31 but I will wait and see what it looks like first.

I just looked at the chart and yeah basically the same as a 7.00 x 15

If I remember correct they are wider than the 7.00-15

I starting to like 33x10.5 but not sure how they work/fit with 2.5” lift?

I have a 2.5” lift from wild horses if you want. I ordered it and then decided to go with stock height. Then I putzed around and missed the window to return it. Send me a message if interested.

It took longer than I expected... Nearly 20 hrs or so and I still think I have some tweaking to do.

The passenger coil doesn't seem to be sitting quite right. It has a slight curve to it where the drivers is straight up and down. Could this have to do with the angle in which I tightened the arm up? I also think it is leaning down about 3/4" on the driver's side. Any knowledge or advice would be helpful. I also think that the axle sits a little more to the drivers side. I only went with q 2.5 inch lift and from what I have read an adjustable track ar isn't needed. It drives great and feels solid.

I have been trouble getting a forbidden thing trying to post pics so Ill try again separately.

Did you change out your track bar for an adjustable one? I put those same springs in mine and it was the track bar. axel was not centered because the lift was making the track bar too short.

I didn't do a new one because I read I wouldn't need one... I guess maybe I do.

I also did the WH 2.5” lift.

The adjustable track bar is a little too long and the original track bar is too short. I’m going to try new bushings in the original track bar since the existing ones are a little worn and compressed.

Agree with this. I bought adjustable one so I could dial in.

Well I ordered an adjustable track bar from james duff this morning. I probably should've just gotten the entire lift kit from them. Oh well. I have a mix of parts from almost all the bronco suppliers. haha

Very nice looking rig! I just noticed the old white/black TX plate on the front with your NC plate on the rear. Nice touch!

I got my adjustable track arm from Duffs installed on Thursday night. It sure would be easier if you could adjust it into spec installed instead of having to remove and reinstall. I the axle about an 1/8 inch from centered before I determined I was done for the night. I lowered it down and took it for a drive an everything seemed to be good. I did break my steering dampener in the process because I forgot to unbolt it and could notice a slight difference on the road.

I decided that it was good to roll on a test run to see how it performed and drove 63 miles Friday morning to a campsite in Uhwarrie National Forest where a couple buddies met me for a night out in the woods.

I threw a kayak on to get from the campsite to the water and it made for a cool pic... Other than the strap. haha
