got the coils in after having to drop the old coil buckets down about 2 inches to get the ride hight i wanted . Now im building the pan hard bar and after i do that i will put the air bags in and it should be done till i get new shocks for the front of my dodge so i can use the old pro comp 9000 from it on the rear of the bronco.

Where did all the pictures go?

I've come to the realization that leaf springs are not for me as I keep cracking them, Want to do a 4 link and was going to review this post.

Are those stock Aerostar rear coils? can you get me a distance from the top of the axle tube to the underside of the frame?

Thanks again.
