Next up is the track bar mount on the axle. The track bar was contacting the oil pan at full bump. I got the plasma cutter, grinder, and welder out. Today ended up not being an absolute scorcher, but it was still plenty hot. Kinda felt like welding underwater, with all the sweat rolling off.
These pictures make it look really easy, but it was a pretty tough job with all the space constraints and lack of visibility due to the rest of the Bronco being in the way...
It took a lot of grinding, plasma cutting, and sweating. A lot of the problem was everything behind the track bar. I had welded a piece of 2" square tube for the bump stop behind the track bar mount. I had to cut it out and then cut out the lower track bar bolt and reinforcing plate that came with the WH kit.
