Been gone for a while and bronco has been sitting for years. I now have access to a shop and tools and it time to start working on the dark horse again. 66 bronco with a explorer 5.0, c4 and dana 20 narrowed 14" up front. Planning on a 2009 f450 super 60 front with a Detroit and 5.38s 8 lug, Sterling 10.5 rear Lincoln locked with 5.38s, 39s or 42s tires, full hydro steering, leafs in rear moved back as far as I can and custom radius arms and front axle moved forward a few. Not sure about front 2.5 air shocks or 2.0 coilovers. Still working with a budget so it might take a while to get it all done. Looking for any pointers, tips, tricks, avoids or other threads to read. Thanks

Sounds like a sweet build. Are you building this for rocks or a little bit of everything? Some cool builds lately with tons, links and ORI's, so I'd be looking to those for first hand do's and dont's. As for tire size, axles like that, I would think some 43" TSL SX's would fit nice.
