Replacing Stock radius arms

[GotBronco-itus?]

So I was working the other day and one of the guys I was setting up equipment with was telling me that I am able to use Bronco I radius arms when I lift my B2. Can I use Bronco I radius arms?

You could if you also use a "B1" axle, but otherwise no they won't fit the BII axle (D28 or D35).

There are several different ways to get longer radius arms though (several companies make kits you can buy, or you can make your own arms from the stock ones, as many here (inc. myself) have done).

I have two wheel drive on my bronco 2. Could I use the arms from the B1s on my B2?

Ok, so how would I make my own arms out of my stock ones?

As said, get some 2" OD x .250" wall DOM (1020 steel) tubing, cut your stock arm right at the point where the tube will just fit snugly into the backside of it and weld it in (bracing it inside where needed), then trim down and insert the threaded end piece into the end of your tubing to finish the arm.
A couple here have also used 2x2" square stock (.250"wall) in a similar fashion with good results.

If you decide to go this route, you'll want a good 220V welder that will give you good penetration on your welds (a little 110V box won't cut it here).

No.
