Modified rear wiper arm

I'll be installing the lift glass into my hatch like I originally planned to, but wanted to keep my wiper. I always hated that stupid design of the wiper arm. Using the two links. Ghey setup if you ask me. I was following an Astro/Safari van the other day and I noticed the rear wiper, single arm, an...

If you look close, you will see a roll pin. Jut pop out the roll pin and pull the line out. That's the FM145. The FM146 line should have a plastic sleave (White) over the fitting for the slave. You need to push this sleave in till it is almost not visible any more and it will release the fingers ho...

The FS bronco springs are the same length, but the center pin offset is different, shorter. My setup moved the axle back an inch or two, can't remember, but I'm sure I wrote it in a previous thread. You can't go back much more without running into problems with the fuel tank. I wouldn't bother remo...

The F150 2wd leaves are about the same length as the B2 leaves +/- 1 or 2" I'm running F150 leaves without the overload out back with an extended shackle. They flex pretty good. I need to get my bumpstops located so that I don't kill the leaves as I can put them into a negative arc. I'll be ins...

That's the Superlift Superunner linkage. The only thing I've changed is I've added a TRE at the pitman arm that is replaceable, not welded like it comes from Superlift.

My bad I see that it's a full width axle and I can kinda catch that your outboarding the mounts.

Is that the upper mount I see (Black)? That from the Aerostar too?

Are you mounting the coils inboard of the frame? Or under?

Doesn't look like alot of room if your going under the frame. I'm guessing this is being mocked up at ride height?
