I really thought the lifter noise would stop since they were new and torqued to specs but they were still noisy. It ran great though, till I rolled the truck.

My first Bronco 2, many years ago I never thought a vehicle would be that capable off-road, and I've been breaking stuff and pushing the envelope ever since.

I hung the cable from the ceiling and winched the front end up and down like 40 times, the winch did great.

Lots of goodies to remove, strange angle brackets and other IFS suspension components are all in the way, im pretty sure that crap was heavier than the dana 44.

I had to cut the perches 3/4 around, taking note as to where the coil first touches them as the lowest point, and shaping it in a sort of coil and welding sides to it.

The trac bar used to center the vehicle is also a bit tricky because it mounts right under the steering box and theres really no room for a bracket.

The full size coil buckets were the key up top rather than trying to modify the stock Bronco 2 ones, mounting these adjusted the ride height easily.

I used 6"x4" angle and braced it with a steel rod to the frame under the motors oil pan. It was only approx 10 " away from the bracket and theres no other way to get that much stability elsewhere.

one of the driver side transmision mount holes was 1/8" forwards of where the bracket needed to be to put the tires at the stock wheelbase.

The 9" rear end was a dream, I raised the pinion angle for a better u-joint position
