Need to sell some crap, then invest in an Aussie and keep an eye out for some rubber. Probably stay in the 35-37 range depending on what I find.

I have to say just stick with the 35's, they match the gearing you now have in the axles.

Have you confirmed that the front gears match the rears?

Time for an avatar picture change too.

Some more pics. Everything needs cleaned up.



Moved the perches in an inch and let the coil make up the rest. Going to replace or modify the stock buckets though.



Crossmember still needs clearanced. Trac bar hits it. And the drag link still has the old bracket welded on.



And my heavy duty u-joint straps. Those aren't permanent btw..

I really like that wide stance that the full axle gave you on the front, I might have to try and find me some of those axles, and put them under my little 89 BII, of course I'm still rocking the 2.9lt engine right now.

you may as well just order up some fullsize coil buckets from the bronco graveyard so you can avoid those upper spring retainers and space the buckets out at the same time. other then that and the you joint strap it looks good

Still might steal the buckets off the truck at the u-pull.

And I have to find the right size ubolt or strap for the joint.

No mods were needed for the front driveshaft?

How the hell is that zip tie still holding up?

That crossmember is going to need a good trimming from the looks of it. Anyways of modding the track bar for it to fit better around the crossmember?

Not much life on those. if your gonna run adapters on the rear id say its worth it for the rims, that way theres no need for two different spares with different bolt patterns.

For tires and rims that you need, I would do it.

My local JY sells rims for $25 each and tires for $20 so you are getting a deal for all of them in one.
