What a mess

[Cj Ford]

Well Sunday night I ripped in to the Bronco and started to install my lift

Before



What I had to deal with







Front lift is in ordered shocks today





Gained a tad over 5" lift from a 4" kit my coils were sagging bad



My garage floor after I raked it .. yes had to rake it





still have to install the rear leaf springs and the shocks when they get here

I think I might trim and go with 38" swampers.. or no trim and 35" swampers... the 33's look small now, I have 9.5" from top of tire to fender opening

[Raul@Stealth Automotive]

def go with the 38"

Looks good Chris. ( looks like a pressure washer might come in handy at your place)

[MrJohnWayne]

Looks good. Man that thing was/is nasty though! hahah

Wow bud! Ditto on the pressure washer! Will look good with bigger meats on it!

ya it looks really bad right now.. amazing it is pretty solid for a 30 year old truck.. the mud dont help it in the look department though.. as far as power washing it naw im gunna go run it up the creek/stream in a few weeks the water is gonna be right around the rocker pannel maybe a little deeper so it will clean itself off.. the creek bed is all rock so it will not get more muddy.. but it sucks puttin a lift on a muddy a$$ truck...


this is how it looked the morning of the mud run as we were loading up

I'def. have to spray it off before I started wrenching on it. I see the longer coil springs but where are the drop down brackets for the radius arm hangers?

not required for the 4" lift .. just had to use a drop bracket for the track bar

Though not as desirable, #2207 C-bushings can be substituted for #1275 (and #1375 bolt kit) radius arm drop brackets for a budget kit
