Just do it, and tell the wife the you aired up the tires properly....HaHa

It might work:(

SixFtUnd · 11-18-2009, 08:27 PM

had some bolt holes that would not line up. Now I'm having trouble getting the radius control arm to sit in the bracket right but it's coming along. I still need to buy shocks and some other things I hope I can get it back up and going soon

SixFtUnd · 11-26-2009, 09:28 AM

front end is back in waiting to buy some parts

Looking better already!
I know there WAS an older (79?) bronco at RD Auto parts in Middletown with like a 6-8" lif ton it if anything from that kit would work they may sell the components for a decent price.

SixFtUnd · 01-09-2010, 07:54 PM
