Gen 2 Raptor Coilovers on Bronco?
Hey guys so I ended up buying a full set of Gen 2 Raptor takeoff shocks/coilovers off ebay for $650. I really only needed the rears for my 1993 Bronco but now it's got me thinking about a use for the front coilovers. What are yalls thoughts on potentially making a custom bucket to mount these in the front to replace the coil springs? Would it work?

Hey get some angle iron and find out! I’ve thought the same thing but don’t like the idea of a single rate setup

Cut the coil bucket and install an F250 shock mount.

I don't think that F-250 shock mount would fit the coilover...

Shock doesn't have enough travel and the spring rate is too high for beams.

I found a guy who had them on the front of his brick nose. He said the ride was improved. I'm thinking of just giving it a try with these Gen 2 coilovers and seeing how it is. I'll definitely install some limit straps and look into some softer spring rates coils
