Radius Arm Drop Bracket

[treel98]

My dad took his 3 1/2 inch suspension lift kit off his xj and said that i could have it if i could make it work. So i get add a leaf's for the back and the shocks and front springs and sway bars. So i was wondering if anyone had made their own radius arm drop bracket. And if so what do i need to do and can someone send a link or pictures? It is a 1990 Bronco II EB 2.9L Auto transmission.

Just make long RA's.

The xj coils are the only thing I could see possibly working tho. You'll need axle pivot drops. Something for your radius arms. Sway bar drops or longer links.

How would i make a set of Longer RA and Axel Pivot drops?

There's a ton of write ups on the extended RA's. The axle pivot brackets can be bought from Jim oaks store here on TRS. Otherwise just research it and use your stock ones for a template. Just make them drop more

My choptop build thread, I did some custom arms for that. Not all the pictures are showing on my end though, not sure what's going on yet, I'll try to look into it more later.

I was trying to find out if the f250 arms and e150 arms were bolt on. But nobody responded.

I'm not sure if anyone has done it.

Yeah. Brinker said they measurements were right but don't think its ever been tryed. Bobbywalter said that e150 arms work but that was. 2wd pre runner.

Hey, give it a shot. I'm sure you could find those pretty cheap at the local pull a part.

 

[swynx]

Yeah, I wanted to. But the nearest pull and save is like 200 miles away

 

[treel98]

the e150 or f250 arms are the right demensions for how much lift though?

 

[swynx]

There just used as bolt on extensions. You get the piece to mount them and you don't need drop brackets. with a lift the stock arms just ram into the mounting locations. With them being longer they are not at such an aggressive angle.

So what your telling me is that they would work in much the same way that long arms would work instead of short arms on like my dads jeep? and if i get them i would use the mounting brackets off them and bolt both of the arms together? i think i know what your saying but i am really new to all this stuff so i appreciate the help
