New guy, 1st time Bronc
#10
I owned a 70' model that had the 5" skyjacker lift. It was awful. The only thing I kept was the adjustable track bar... You are probably best served by starting over on it.

There is a thread that I can send you for a set of BFG A/T's in the RDU area. Just went up on another site yesterday. I think he wanted 4 or 500 for the set, with about 90% tread, if you are interested.

You shouldn't have too much of an issue towing that short of a distance, assuming it is all slower speeds and reasonable roads. Sounds like you are gonna wear that trailer outSmile

My big Bronco experience is limited, but I do know that anything 76-79 would have disc brakes, but they would NOT bolt up to your knuckles. You could take the whole knuckle and everything and make it work, but the steering linkage would need to be replaced on your truck (tie rod length would need to be longer).

I did have a 92 OJ wagon a few years back and from what I remember, the spindles, backing plates and the like were the small 6 bolt pattern like what would be on your knuckle. They are plentiful in junk yards. Anyone else who has info can chime in.

As far as the AOD is concerned, I do know some of them were electronically controlled. You would not want one of those. I do not know which years were not, but they would probably be mid to late 80's. The full size Broncos had C-6's in them. You would likely need a car trans and convert it. Advance Adapters can steer you in the right direction.
