'89 Bronco II build

JOSEPH169 · Oct 8, 2013

I'll post some pics soon. I ran into a lil issues with my superrunner system that was modded for 1 ton rods. The GM drag links are too long so I couldn't get enough adjustment for my toe in, I'm gonna have to get dodge 1 tons that i use on the outers as well for the drag links since they have more threads and are a lil bit shorter in length.

Got my steering all aligned at work yesterday and drove it around to make sure everything was good, man what a difference in handling

Save those GM ends... You'll probably need them when you go to put a D35 under there (it's a little wider).

I figured before as much and today we had an 94 explorer come in on trade so I measured the rod end to end and its perfect for the gm and dodge links but not for the lil dana 28

Not too much as of lately, i just got my tax return so I can buy a commuter car so i can do more mods to this, I'm looking into getting some extended radius arms and upgrade the axles this year since I can take my time now.

just an update

I've been looking for a dana 35 ttb to put in the front and extended radius arms. Its been on hold for a bit because school and such with the kid but i'll have my summer free to start working on it again.

Nice! Thats my next upgrade too...got the 35 already..

JOSEPH169 · Aug 25, 2014

Just got my 8.8 from the junk yard. The guy i was gonna pull it off of had broken axles and didn't know if the housing was bent so I played it safe. Now time to relocate the spring perches and weld shock tabs.

JOSEPH169 · Feb 10, 2015

ok its been awhile since iv'e worked on the bronco but i got the 8.8 all spring down and cleaned and found a dana 35ttb on cl for $125 with the radius arms and all. Now i'm just waiting for my spring perch brackets and shock tabs to come from WFO and then I'm ordering some 4.88 gears for the front and rear and the front I'm gonna put and aussie locker in before i install it.

JOSEPH169 · Feb 10, 2015
