Its kinda in Got the motor mounts all welded up and bolted in. It was a real pain! I jacked up my finger and stripped out a bolt on the exuast manifold! It was a pretty crappy day but i got some work done which was nice. There was also a really nice message on the fly wheel from the owner before me.

Well Lets see one person that probably cut up a bunch of his frame or had it all rusted out is sayin his frame is bad but your have 2 others that beat the leaving crap out of there rig and never had a issue. If your really worried then box it, but i wouldnt do that unless you got alot of free time.

I suggest going with a two link with a wrist arm. You can build your own or use some stock control arms off of a bronco with a solid axle. Here are two links one to my rear suspension that i built my own links and the other is the front with stock (modified arms) http://forum.broncoii4x4.com/viewtop...

Thats not what i said i said its always worth it (i used a double negative before). I run a dana 60 front and 10.25 rear. I have run many diffrent axle setups and this is by far my fav. Now Did your buddy have a locker in the front? When you put a locker in there things tend to blow up alot more. I ...

well you will probably have to but coils out of a early bronco for about a 8 inch lift. I ran the ones for a 3 and a half inch lift and i got 6 inches of lift.

whats the 8.8 out of? a exploeer would be the best choice. Dont know to much whats needed to do the swap. But ifs its out of a full size its going to be really wide and run a different lug pattern with a large 5 instead of the small five you have now.
