Here is a shot of it sitting on it's own weight with the 3.5" front springs and new duff coils in the rear. I like the lower stance A LOT better!

Not quite 10 yet :thefinger:

At least when it's done I'll know that I built it (with Keith's help that is)! I can't help I lost my job when I was 75% done ... didn't part it out and sell it off either cratchhe:

Robert ... I luv you man :notworthy:

Was not trying to make a dig just think that your Bronco is gonna be bad-A and look forward to seeing you enjoy the fruits of your labor.


As far as doing what I did ... I had nothing ... I had enough fuel to make it to Chuck's house that weekend and that money gave me a chance to move and feed my son for a few months until I got a job.

JP... I feel the love man! No hurt feelings here ... just dishing it back at ya!

You gotta do what you gotta do! How have things been in TX? By the way.. we bought Jess a Jetta TDI and she loves it. 42 MPG's now and she's just at 10K miles.

Finished welding everything up in the rear today and took it out of the garage on it's own power. For some reason I've picked up a back-fire problem along the way - something else to figure out now. I did have the battery disconnected the entire time we welded on the truck so I'm hoping it just needs to re-learn itself.

The anti squat / rise issues I had before are 90% better upergrin: I am going to raise my upper arms up at the frame - the bracket has 4 positions and I am in the very bottom. Since I lowered the truck 2", the angles are much different and I think raising that arm up will take care of the last 10%.

Also made a bracket to hold my radiator catch can to finish the day. Thanks to Chuck for the new-to-me rear shocks.
