Hello all,
Looking to buy a cheap toy to ride the trails and do a little offroading with in summer with some jeep buddies. I came across a 84 bronco II, carb 2.8, 5 speed, 6" suspension lift and 2" body lift with D28 front and 7.5 rear on 33s. I've been trying to research as much as possible, and i understand its current axles are pretty weak, but would they be able to hold up to the 33s? I know of the d35/8.8 swap and its simplicity, but id like to run the current setup (maybe weld the rear, ideas?) and see if its something i really enjoy before i stick a lot of money into the bronco. I would probably ditch the body lift if i did end up getting it to lower the cog some. Ideally id like to be able to drive the rig on the street to the play area. Sorry for the probably common newbie questions, just looking to get into a new hobby. Thanks everyone! :icon_cheers:
