I think Bart mentioned it earlier, perhaps in another thread, but don't over-torque the u-bolts on the drive shaft.
Replace the nyloks on the spring u-bolts though. Those are not checked as often as a drive shaft and they will come lose when you least expect it. The couple bucks are worth the piece of mind.
Most folks go with stock hydros from one of the vendors. 70/30 are popular. If you are going to run a softer spring set, I suggest running nitrogen. They are more responsive in dampening and stabilizing, especially on the road. I run M95 nitros and 70/30 hydros on the rear on my quad setup.
Install on Bronco first to ensure everything lines up correctly on the axle.
Adjust the e-brake out all the way. If they won't come loose, remove the c-clips for some extra movement since they have to come out anyway.
Take note which direction the springs are installed. There IS a front and a back.
