The TTB lifts are pretty easy. You have to grind off the rivots holding the stock drop brackets. You also have to grind off the rivots for the radius arm brackets. These will be replaced with the rough country brackets.

Then you can unbolt the stock coil from the ttb arm and then load the new lift spring bolt down and also change out the new longer shock.

bolt the ttb beams to the drop brackets and install the radius brackets and arms. Then if you need extended brake lines this is a good time to do it also.

Its 5 am with not much sleep so I might have forgotten a step or 5 so read the instructions that come with the lift carefully and work slow and do it right.

its pretty simple if you take your time and don't try to get ahead of yourself, like mentioned above, do it right the first time.

a minor setback.............well i got the lift on and ive got no problems except for the expected brake lines and drive shaft. well im resolving the brake line issue tomarrow with a run to the 4x4 shop but the drive shaft is a different story. i was just wondering what yall would recommend for replacement. so any suggestions would be helpful. by the way new pics of the bronc will be coming within a few days :D
