Isn't the top of that tire guna eat that fender when it flexes?

I do love the factory lip tho!
no, that pic is just of the un-bolted fender sitting on top of a 35" tire. just to illustrate that the arch is bigger than the tire.

it would only "eat the fender" if I cut the quarter/set the arch too low.

that picture was not at full-stuff imagine doing exactly what you already did, but instead using the sheet metal from a front fender, in order to use its arch/retain a factory lip. without having to fab your own lip for it.

Little flex shot. I gota drop the rear about 2" with softer coils. In the pic the passenger side isn't even hitting the 4" bump yet!

The 2.9 started making horrific noises and than locked right up me this weekend.... looks like its time for a 4.0 swap. I have my 91 ranger 4.0 and harness. Anybody know if the 4.0 engine harness will plug right into the fire wall of the 89 bronco 2 or am i guna be doing wire madness?

During my research I have been reading some say its plug n play n others say its not...
