1993 Splash build

[brinker88]

Well went on some trails today. Truck did amazing. I really need to fine tune the front suspension now tho. (i.e. extended radius arms/longer shock towers). I now completely understand why everybody raves about having a locker. It is literally night and day. I didnt spin a tire the whole trip.

Cleaned and rebuilt the bastard pack leaf springs 1BadExplorer sold me. The 4" lift coils will be going on sale here in a little while for dirt cheap (around $50) as I alreday bought a nice clean set from 88Eddie.

Finished up the leaf springs tonight. Ended up with a 6 leaf pack. All new spring isolators, plastic friction pads, and OEM rubber spring eye bushings.

Got these Hella 4000 6" pencil beams for $60.00

Well I ordered my 2" O.D. by 0.25 square tubing today for my extended radius arms. It was $50.00 for 6 feet. Didnt think that was too bad.

Will be ordering my Johnny Joints from Currie next paycheck (they're as big as a soda can) and the weld-in bungs from Ballistic Fabrication. Time to get serious!!

Man, 756 views yet less than 30 comments...I realize it's a slow build but damn. I want some constructive critizism here folks!

I don't have much in the way of constructive criticism, but I'm SUPER excited to see how the truck preforms with those soon to be pimped out radius arms!
Will you be doing the F-250 shock mount modification? I will be doing something very similar with my suspension, so I'm always following this thread closely.
Get snappin on it man!

Edit: Just looked back and saw that you will be doing the F-250 shock mount. Yes!!

Thanks bud! Im excited to drive her again. She's been off the road for 2 weeks now...

F250 shock towers will be ordered next pay check here from broncograveyard.com. Found them for 23.00 each plus shipping.

 

[prerunnerwannabe]

I'm not sure if he still has them, but bennybooster had some used ones for sale for a good price... I got mine from him actually.

Very nice build!


What coils you have in it?

 

[brinker88]

Well, I have rough country in now, which dont flex for shit, but Im getting early bronco 5.5" lift coils with the lower PPI. Im shooting for 4" of lift with the 5.5" coils.
