My Bronco 2

[country0001]

There was a guy that designed his own 4" brackets. He emailed me the plans for them. If you want them pm me.

I just remembered slo-vo has a set of copykat's 35/44 brackets for sale.

Sweet.. Time to talk to Slo-Vo

wasn't what i needed.

think i'm gonna gusset the one RC mount, and make a new one to replace the drop plate.

just got paid for my side job, now i need to find a superrunner steering kit still and 4.10 gears for the d35. i wanna run 4.10's for now then regear after i get the 33's if i want to. manual hubs i'll get out at the JY. i still gotta pull that donor ex's d35, but dang, i don't have air tools down there, and its in the side of a field.... JOY! for some reason my shock towers still aint in??

for anyone that wants to know, this is where i got my towers https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/ they are showing higher price now than they did a few days ago tho. lol

I quit using air tools, I kept breaking shit with them. Just get the D35 first then go from there. Grab the driveshaft too if you can.

4.10s with 33s would be perfect.

 

[4.0B2]

front shaft is already in my truck! lol

 

[4.0B2]

and later on, i may want lower gears.. idk, we'll see. but the 8.8 is geared 4.10. and i won't have 33's instantly, i'll be running 30's (which is perfect at 3.73's IMO) till i get the money for 33's

 

[4.0B2]

is there anything i'm forgetting?

gears
hubs
coils (check)
complete axle lol (check, just 100 miles away in my donor)
ext RA's
drop brackets
steering (could use what i've got for now, if i had to....)
brakes? i need to read about this, think it just bolts up right?
shocks
shock towers(check, wherever they are)

a lot of it, i could use what i have now, and upgrade as i find/buy the parts.

The d35 is longer meaning that you will have to shorten your shaft unless your shaft has enough slip in the slip joint to make up for it.

 

[4.0B2]

Yeah. I've Got a guy that does it for like $20 shorten and balance. That's easy.

4.0B2.. Can you do any mild fabrication work?

 

[4.0B2]

Yeah. What ya got in mind?

 

[disciplerocks]

Wish you were closer. I won't need my front shaft once I start on this doubler.

 

[4.0B2]

It's all good bro. I can get that done pretty easy.
