Adding Solo Stage 4 to the Broncoyote

Post by djyaz »

Greetings Go Fast Friends!

It's time to actually go fast! I did a motor swap in my Bronco years ago (Bronocoyote.com) but never upgraded the suspension and now I have a Solo Stage 4 kit on the way and I'm pumped! The problem is I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I'm self-taught and have never done suspension work before so I welcome advice/help you're willing to share.

Step 1 is borrowing or buying all the equipment I'll need.

Here is the list I have so far...

Air compressor/hose/air chisel (for removing rivets)
Miller 211 Welder + protective gear and accessories
Angle Grinder (cut off wheels and wire wheels)
Impact Driver
Big Socket Set
Regular Socket Set
Big Drill Bits
Primer and paint
4 HD Jack Stands
Crawler
Pack of C Clamp Vice Grips
Metal Marking Pen
WD 40 Penetrant

What am I missing? Suggestions?


Unrelated solved problems I welcome advice on...

1) I need a power steering pump for the Coyote, not sure which one to buy.

2) I tow heavy for brief trips around town with this truck sometimes so would like the biggest + best full disc setup available. Suggestions?

3) I'd like to upgrade the wheels and tires and I'd like the largest and widest rim and largest tires I can fit, suggestions? I have already trimmed the rear wheels wells for paddles and I don't mind trimming the front as well.

Appreciate your guidance!!

Fat fender garage in Gilbert would be a good resource for a power steering pump also.

It’s begun!!

Is there an existing thread on this anywhere? I’ve googled and only found a few incomplete videos.

This build is done.

Anyone have advice on how to adjust king shocks for the dunes?

did Solo spec the Kings when you ordered the kit? Or did you order them somewhere else?
