I was wondering if the front end out of a 93 full size eb bronco could be put in a b2. I know the d35 swap out of the explorer will work but my bro swap a sas into his full size and i can get the frront end for next to nothing so was wondering if it can be done or if im gonna be stuck with a d35 or a sas swap

Its the same steering box. The links you need are determined by the width of the axle, so use the FS steering linkage.

Doing it right now. Have to fab some spacers for the coil buckets but other than that it's almost a plug and play for the ttb out of a full size 1982 bronc. But, u do have to move the picot points out 7/8inch (90BII) to avoid axle issues.

ext the coil buckets...easier to start from scratch to make new ones that come out a couple more inches. cut the beams close to the bushing end, weld in 1" of material on each side...use rbv drop brackets like normal. better to use the f/s radius arms and mod em up. more leverage on the springs=more travel

get to work:icon_welder:

With that much travel I hope it's getting a swing set.

I've got a couple ideas for steering. That 21" was free moving. If coilovers and swingset steering are setup correct it could be useable travel.

Autofabs limiter is the coil springs they use. I plan to change that with mine.:headbang:
