You can use something to compensate the 2.5" for each leaf spring. Mabey have something like this http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=DCC%2D4120075&N=700+115&autoview=sku to replace the stock shackles, but instead of having them curve out, put them on the ...

My 89 did this a few times and started shaking REALLY bad during each little session. It would only do it every now and then but it hasnt done it in like a year....
Must not have been that serious cause the thing runs fine now.

Im running a D44 up front. I was planning on getting longer coils to match the rear lift. 6" would do the trick, I can tolerate a little fender trimming....
Whats the max lift you would go with on shackles? Do F-150 coils give the front some lift?

I was originally thinking of putting 63" chevy leaf springs on the back because Ive read so many good things about these springs being swapped on Toyotas. However I looked at the Bronco and I think the body mount in front of the leaf spring mount would cause problems. I then started thinking ab...

Im pretty sure that all of the 4.0L explorers had the 8.8 rear axle. Im not sure of the front axle though. You can keep your stock engine and trans with that 4.0L

If your looking for a cheap route, and you need an engine, I would look at junk yards for a 4.0L v6. Since you have to do a swap, it wouldnt hurt to make it worth the effort. For suspension, just find an old BII at a junk yard and take the essentials.

I think the best axles for your swap would be an Explorer 8.8 in the rear and a Dana 44 in the front. As far as engines go, the 4.0L would be the easiest and should get around 17mpgs range.

After lots of research, I dont believe this is a posi unit. Should I go with a spool or would the stock diff. with a spool up front be benefitial enough?

Right now its a the stock automatic in my 89BII. I plan to run that for a while and then do a VW turbo deisel with a toyota 22r standard trans.

I have a GM 12 bolt that Im working on and Im pretty sure it has a posi unit it in. I was thinking of selling the posi and getting a mini spool but I want it to be a on/offroad rig. Will the spool cause REALLY fast tire wear from turing? Should I keep the posi and go with a spool for the front? Also...

From my understanding, D35's came from earlier Jeep cherokees. Mid 80's models.

Just wondering what size tires your running and how its holding up.

Doesnt look like you have any fender trimming....???? Didnt realize a Bronco II needed 7 " of lift to fit 33's snug like that. Nice looking truck!

I will be making my BII convertable within the next 12 months for sure. I plan on doing it the right way with even edges and making a real button on soft top just like the original convertable Bronco II's were made. I will have a detailed write up.

Im building my GM 12 bolt which has 3.73's. Im wanting to run 35's-37's and was wondeirng what gears yall would run with 35's-37's. Would the 3.73's work, I just wouldnt have my top speeds anymore?
