Input wanted and some questions involving my 88 Bronco II

[alwaysFlOoReD]

I could be talked out of 5:13 for d-35.
Not sure how hard it is to find 5:13 for rear...

Hmm… not sure how stupid hard and expensive it would be to ship it here and not sure how hard it would be to get a set for an 8.8

Might have to ponder this a bit, I’ll get back to you… it would probably be more gear than any of my trucks need, Choptop actually does reasonably well with 4.10s oddly enough, but once I get around to doing the full cage and rock sliders and stuff that weight may get me to where deeper gears are required unless I change the motor. I also have a lousy crawl ratio. Really like to eventually do a doubler in that thing. Actually ideal would be a doubler box and a twin-stick t-case, but it’s going to be awhile before any of that happens unless I win the lottery or something

I noticed the other night that Behemoth makes the Ranger doubler with the option of full-size output now. Doubler + NP205 would be super cool.

There’s a set of coil springs sitting on a shelf in my shop that are the answer to all your problems.

Interesting… I think it’s about time to start looking for a NP205…

I might be able to put them to use if you want to ship them over… lol.

Actually, sometime within the next like 10 months I need to get up to @holyford86 to drop some stuff off and pick some stuff up. Maybe we can make some sort of a plan. I’d even be near the Canadian border there… ehh @alwaysFlOoReD ? Lol

 

[holyford86]

And now the plot thickens… I’ve been offered a running 2.9 for the price of come get it…

Anyone got a line on a 4.10 geared D-35 for a reasonable price?

You're welcome, haha.

If lil_Blue_Ford can't get to you fast enough I'm in the plattsburgh NY area and venture to the greater Burlington area regularly and can pick them up to hold for him if you'd like

The border is about a 3 hour drive for me. But I'm not allowed into the states. Shipping would probably be similar price as my fuel. There are shipping depots just inside the state border iirc.
Its just R and P, not whole pumpkin.

I’ll be in central pa before thanksgiving if that helps.

So those springs are the ones I never managed to pick up or get shipped to me way back when. Should be 5” James Duff coils if I remember correctly...

Fair enough. I’m kind of out of cash until after the holidays, so I’ll kick things around and we can figure it out.

I’d like to say it would… but I dunno. Dad’s Ranger needs fixed before Thanksgiving, I need to finish patching up the tow dolly and move my 88, which still needs a little attention to be ready to move, and I need to take care of a couple other things. I can’t say for sure if I’ll be able to break away long enough or not until I get a couple things off my plate…

That sounds about right, I’d feel bad if I didn’t tell you I tested them out on a trip to rausch creek. They turned my tough truck feeling ttb into a slinky.

You are going love them!

I think I may be tempted to leave the F-150 spring perches on my TTB and see if I can add another two inches of lift all around… may be a dumb idea though and I should probably not do that, lol
