New guy, 1st time Bronc

[hankster]

The 5" Skyjacker lift sucks? Wow - chalk that up to good branding. I always had the perception that they had great kits. (Noob strikes again). What is bad about the 5" lift, btw? My standards are really low, as I'm coming from a lifted 2001 Cherokee that rides pretty smoothly, so anything feels rough/stiff/etc.

Please do send the thread about the tires. Would love to see if it's the right deal. (Wonder if these 35x14.50 Thornbirds are going to be tough to move).

I'm used to towing the boat with the 01 Cherokee which has that 4.0L V6, so I'm hoping the C4 8cyl combo will function ok. More worried about the top speed on the interstate at this point...

Re: brakes, I'll do more homework on the best replacement for my 74. I don't mind modifying/converting - just want to keep the price sensible and the quality (of braking & reliable brakes) high.

A converted car transmission, eh? Didn't know that was an option. Something from a Mustang? (I don't want to make any moves that render me a chump in this splendid world of Bronco toolers. I'd much rather just learn all I can and spit it all back out to the next newbie). Advance Adapters - I'll check them out.

Thanks again.
