31's on stock rear end and transfer case
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 8:57 pm
I am new to the Bronco II. I have 2 1984's. In considering what to do with these things I thimk the rear is the weaker 7.? rear end and am pretty sure the T-case is a BW1350. Has anybody ran 31 inch tires with this rear end and how long did it last?
I am a high school autoshop teacher without a lot of money so budget is always a concern. I do have lots of help from inexperienced students and lots of fabrication equipment just no money. I am swapping the front out for an explorer TTB Dana 35 I traded for a high pinion 35.
I assume the BW1350 has a seperate oil system from the trans if that's not true please let me know? If I run the stock transfer case with the stock V6 I should be good. Does anybody know the lowest gear ration for the BW1350?
My main point is to be wheeling ASAP being that my Scout is under the knife for major mods. (I hope its okay to mention IH here and if its not please excuse me i'm the fng).
Thanks for all the great info all of you provide
