Always been the plan since day one to do a single 3.0 coilover up front, possibly IBP. Desolate engine cage etc with C&T, uniball pivots, truss yadda yadda. Deavers, desolate upper shock mount and sway bar for the rear with the triple bypasses.

I did the stage 1.5 because it got me the radius arms, with a mild lift and decent shocks. I'll rock the stage 1.5, enjoy the bronco, have fun and go camping while i save up for the front coilovers and all the other parts. Then once i'm ready, drop her back off at Desolate and have a turn key, stock width mobber. I'll do autofab front glass to 35's don't eat my fenders, and call it a day for suspension. Eventually a cage maybe, continue refining the engine, interior, electrical etc. Comfortable DD/prerunner/overlander.

Sounds like a good plan! I think you and I have pretty much the same vision for our Bronco builds! :)

Thank you! I've currently got a couple of other irons in the fire, but I'm looking forward to starting the REAL transformation pretty soon!
