Allright a little update on the [SIZE="5"]"FINE 69"[/SIZE]
Remove old hood latch for pins and hood shocks from duff's they have a hood shock kit that adds alot of support up the side of the hood ... love it ... not much other than the rear end story...:rubeyes:
lets see ... first my old 3rd member goes bad and the 3rd member housing already had a broken peice so I bought a new one from "bucketobolts" aka Aaron. So installed that and no luck take my old open carrier and his ring gear and housing w/ pinion gear and add a mini spool. WOW what a difference that made holy crap my Bronco came alive with that and locked in the front WOW. So anyway now the mini spools(2) wanted to blow up for whatever reason so last night I ordered a full spool to see if that lets more spline area in than the full spool more so than the mini spool ... if not I might need to order a custom axle...
cratchhe:Now I'm thinking of a couple quick cheap mods for more flex on the cheap until I do my 2nd build with BIG AXLES and 40's...
This is what I think will help on the cheap ... degreed bushings for my bent up old stock radius arms ... 2/12 inch coils from BC Broncos(w/winch or w/o winch?) ... F250 shock hangers front ... spring rockers for rear leafs ... and new to me stock rear leaf springs (Robert aka SC74 has mine I hope?) anyway that and maybe some work on a couple leaks and should be pretty good until the big big big changes with new axles and tires and beadlocks and full hydro steering and SC74's custom indo/exo cage work and 4 link and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and ... Any and all donations are welcomed!!!
SEE YA!!!

Are you setting up the gears yourself or do you have a local guy?

Do them yourself. The learning experience is great.

JP, i would stay clear of the leaf pack rockers....if you really like driving on the street. plus they add a couple of inches to your lift.

Keith had some and took them off and sold them - too unpredictable! They made you stay puckered up b/c when they could unload in situations that you don't want them to and send you on your side. Just my 2 cents.

It was just a thought ... but I'm not really worried about road manners ... anyway I got a hell of a deal on a 2 1/2" lift from a Bronco Brother ... Robert I won't need those stock springs thanks ...
With that and the degreed bushings for my radius arms I feel like that will do fine... oh yeah and some F250 shock mounts!!!
Anyway Thanks ya'll ... JP

JP - Jessica's rig only has 2.5" duff lift (Duff = STIFF if you ask me) and 33'x12.50's fit comfortably.
