Gearing

[Jbots]

I was wondering what gear ratio i should get for my b2 thats going on 33s, any iput wouls be appreciated

[Mud Addict]

What motor, trans. and axles do you have? I am running 33's on my '85 with 2.8 and 5spd, D35 and 8.8 axles, am running 4.56's

[Jbots]

I have the 2.9 5spd but dont know the axles ill have to look. Im hoping the rear is a nine inch

[Mud Addict]

If you have not swapped them out, I would bet you still have the stock Dana 28 front and 7.5 rear If your ever in Enumclaw swing by my shop and check out my Bronco II's

[Jbots]

Okay i will how do you know what aize you have, and have you ever fabricated radius arms and drop brakets?

[Mud Addict]

My smaller Bronco is running axles from an Explorer Has a 6in Skyjacker class II lift on it and 33x12.5's The Big B2 is sitting on 38's, axles are from a full-size '78 Bronco. 4-linked rear - 9in with ARB waiting to be installed, front is Dana 44 that is wristed and extended radius arms up

As for brackets, I have a set for 6in lift and coils in my parts pile Am planning on building a set of extended arms soon, have the pieces just need to build them

[Jbots]

What kind of material are you usuing for the radius arms? And brackets?

[Ranger Dave]

4:56's will give ya a 3:80 final ratio

[Mud Addict]

For the arm extension I am either gonna use some 2x2 square or 2in dia DOM with .25in wall. As for the drops I can't remeber what brand the are at the moment. The coils are red, but having trouble remebering what color the drops are.

[Jbots]

Thanks im gonna go with the 4.56s im just gonna get a 9 inch rear end first

[Jbots]

And okay sounds good im gonna work on mine if you know amyone selling a nine inch rear end let me know please

[Mud Addict]

Had one from an early Bronco, sold it a few months ago.
Still have the Early Bronco '77 Dana 44 with disc brake

[Jbots]

And thats for the rear?

[Mud Addict]

NO, I sold the 9in rear, still have the front Dana 44

The front lift drop brackets I have are Skyjacker 6in and coils
