So I've started a thread on another local Bronco site and thought I might as well post up what I've done so far if it's possible... and I've got a ways to go... but it's great to get lot's of ideas from the collective...
- Started out as a 4 link build because I keep snapping leaf springs and/or spring hangers off
- replacing the 3rd HD F150 housing with a RuffStuff housing
- decided to upgrade/add to my 35 spline TruHi9 setup I've been running for a long time to a RS housing with 14 bolt hubs, 35 spline RCV axles (splined on both ends) with RCV FF flanges
- Also extending the WB
- Going with ORI's on all 4 corners
- Also swapping out my Atlas for a 205 (already running a Klune with 4130 shaft)
- Lowering seats for several reasons
... here's what I'm doing now...
Got into the 4 link, had issues with the housing so while waiting I started on the D60 install...
-GOAL
Install the '78 Kinpin D60 with 6" of uptravel with only 2 1/2" of suspension lift over stock...this has turned into a tight fitting project...
-shortened the DS 2 3/4" so the pumpkin would squeeze btw the mtr mount and diff...
Lot's going on now... inner fender removal, shortening my JBA shorty header (DS) since the D60 yoke now hits the header it cycles so far up, moving p/s box, no front body mounts anymore as the 40"s hit them, m/c has to move again since the 16" ORI's will now hit it, etc, etc
Tons more going on but if I can't post up what I've already done I don't have time to start from the beginning...
