Well i got my 2.5 ton Rockwells today, as well as a new sbf c-6 and a new 208 and 205 t case and i even weny out and bought some brand new 50" v treads with rockwell centers. So i will be posting up a build thread starting this Saturday.... Taking after my mentor... Kim ( trainhorn) for giving me the inspiration to do this and am going to build a small wheel base mudder. There is 1 catch though. I will be setting it up with a 1 link suspension! So after a year it is finally growing UP! :)

Well i bought 1 set of US joint links, it will be solid at the axles and a new carrier will be built to hold the other end of the link,, pretty simple. here is the joint..

Yep,, tell me more about yours. why did you have to rake out the front? not enough room for everything under the truck or for more stability?

well for starters i put the front end out for better weight transfer, longer wheel base and because it would take some weight off of the front axle it is only a toyota axle so i didnt want to put too much stress on it, sence its getting a BBC this year so it acually works out pretty good im goin to start tearing the old motor and trans out thiss week so i will get some more pictures of how i tied it to the front axle when i get her moved into the garage

I still have to put the panhard bars in and all the gusset work needs to be done, some final welding and touch up. We still have to lift the body up 4 more inches but,,,,,

The one link set up flexes like mad. I like it. That's what I was going to do with the Jeep before I got rid of it.

Post by: JaiDeeEmm on May 28, 2010, 12:44:48 AM

what is going to hold the springs in place on the axle when it flex's out? Seems like you need centering cones or whatever there called

Title: Re: *****My Small Bronco Grows Up*****
Post by: BAD APPLE on May 28, 2010, 06:21:01 AM

or limiting straps that would be easy

Title: Re: *****My Small Bronco Grows Up*****
Post by: ufospy on May 28, 2010, 12:29:35 PM

i have to take some more pics, but i put limiting chains on and also bump stops. and there are spring retainers bolted to the springs that you can't really see in these pics

Nice bronco looks awesome !!! how much lift did you end up with total ??? I'm thinking about putting rocks under my 79 bronco next year and was wondering what I'm looking at as far as lift. thanks

Title: Re: *****My Small Bronco Grows Up*****
Post by: ufospy on June 14, 2010, 02:06:21 AM

well i am not really sure how much, i put in a 6 inch body lift so my t case would not hit and i bought 6 inch lift springs but then i lowered my mounts 4 inches so i guess about 16 inches?
