so u are using 1.5-2.5" drop downs, are they the tuff country's? also let me know how your alignment works out with the 4" coils and camber bushings. im going the same route whenever i get my camber bushings
Yep, Tuff Country brackets. The springs are 4.5" 2WD 4 cyl Duff coils, which will give approx. 3.75-4" lift. I'll let you know how it works.

are you sure? i was told 2wd coils are an inch higher compared to 4wd coils due to the beams not being as 'thick'

Yep I'm sure. The 4cyl are light motors, so I'm expecting 4" of lift. I think the spring rate on them is like 325 or 350 ppi.

And Mike, goodies going on the Bronco, Red Sled is the DD now.

So, 'nother little update. Been waiting and waiting for my lift to show up, couldn't get ahold of the guy so I started getting a little worried. Turns out he got sent out on next to no notice to the oilfield camps to work on Dodges (Ha!) where there was no cell service or anything. Got an e-mail from him yesterday apologizing for the mix up, and some good news in it as well...
Not only did he send out the lift parts yesterday, he also threw in a NEW in box Detroit EZ Locker for my 8.8! So stoked! I'll be locked front and rear now, yeehaw!

A guy from up here on Vancouver Island. Said he felt bad for such an f-up on his part. Plus, he already has a Detroit in his Expo, but bought the Detroit EZ Locker just before he found the Detroit, so had it kickin' around and decided to toss it in to make up for it. I wasn't expecting anything to make up for it, I just wanted my stuff, but a free locker deffo makes up for that!!
