I need to move the coil bucket back the the front holes to help with spring arch.

I don't know how you've gone so long without your bronco. Don't give up! Make a plan to get one thing done a week, big or small.
The coil bow comes with the territory. Part of the problem is the coils cups are at a different angle than the buckets. You can shim the cups a to help a little. But overall, that's a fine tuning thing. You don't have to worry about your coils popping out.

well today I got it sitting on tires. I also hooked up the stock steering up just to move it and boy it sucks. I had to adjust it so much and still isnt right. Good thing that the tires are beaters... Anyway the truck has a new home in our new houses' garage. I cant wait until this move settles down to get her running. (sorry no pics)
I got those top buckets from an EB frame. I had to cut them off as they were welded on. I installed them flush, just like they were on the original frame. I am not too worried the flex as much as I am wondering what i am going to do for steering.
The lower buckets can also be moved back a little so that might help them line up better as well.

Hey Matt, Have you tried a speciality bolt company? I have a company near me called Tacoma Screw and that is where I buy all my weird bolt and nut combos. No minimum order and if they don't have it in stock they will find it for you.Nobody wrote:I checked the dealer and they are disontinued. There are a number of 4x4 vendors that stock them, but they are charging quite a bit. I'd like to know where the vendors are getting them.
There is also another company here like that but I can't remember the name. I think it was Seattle nut and bolt. Anyway I bet they would be cheaper than anyone else..
