Those bump stops look nice! I'm guessing you have access to a welder? Part of my problem is I can't even figure out how to get the old bumpstops off, any socket I try to fit into the recessed hole in the frame where the bumpstop bolt is is either too big around to fit the hole, or to small to get on...

No spacer other than what was on the original beams.

Right, I understand the ball joint only allows so much movement. I bought the beams secondhand unfortunately

I'm a mechanic by trade, so I understand the basics of aligning vehicles. However I can't get my Bronco's right front camber to get within specs. It's 1.5 degrees positive. I tried a moog adjustable cam to correct it, adjustable from 0-3.2 degrees, but there isn't enough movemnet in the ball joint i...

If they are anything like the Solo arms and pivot boxes, they should still use an existing hole in the frame for locating. Bolt on the pivot box with that one bolt hole, and then drill out the rest of the holes you need. Of course, before you start drilling it would be a good idea to make sure every...

Finally got my Deaver's in the back! Unfortunately, it sits around 1-2 inches taller in the rear than in the front :? But, I used standard shackles, and I just ordered Camburg's 1.5 inch longer shackle, so that should help some. And I have the stock wedge in there which has to go anyway; the vibrati...

Sydude, PM sent

Ok, thanks for all the input you guys have given me, especially polarcub! I've got the back all ready for new springs, Bilstein 5100's are on the way, new hangers are in, now I'm just waiting to pull the trigger on whichever leaf pack I decide to get. Definitely leaning towards the J40 pack with ext...

Do Camburg extended shackles fit without cutting into the body?

Yeah, I would really like the available travel the J40's would have, the only thing is at this point I plan on keeping the stock wedge, just because at the moment I can't weld. I'd like to learn! So for now I "planned" on keeping the wedge and changing the angle of the perches when I can, whether th...

I've been reading up some on the J40's from Deaver, and it seems like it might be a little too tall to match a 4 inch lift up front. I've got Solo C&T beams with 4 inch pro comp coils up front. Would F64's be a better match? Or am I worrying too much about the rear ride height? To bring the rear dow...

Does anyone know what size U-bolts I'll need for my new Deaver J40's? I even searched all over here and google and couldn't find anything! Nevermind, with a little searching I found it. Deaver has them listed on their site. Here's the link in case anyone is interested. http://www.deaverspring.com/pr...

Yeah, they are the auxilary shocks. I was worried about that. I don't think I have the expertise to make a shock mount though for the rear mounted shocks. But, it's an ongoing project anyway.

Well, I got the driver's side beam and radius arm/ pivot box installed tonight. The pivot boxes do use an existing hole to mount, so once you nut and bolt through that hole, it's pretty easy to drill the rest. One thing I'm a little concerned about is my bump stop. I"ve got 4 inch pro comp coils and...

Steve, Solo was actually the one who told me to install them that way, I was just hoping there was a more exact measurement to go by. Once I get back out there I'll check to see if the brackets use one of the existing holes. Thanks for the help guys!

I'm installing my Solo beams and arms right now, and just wanted to see how everyone makes sure the front wheels are centered in the wheel wells. So far what I've heard is to jack the beams up to the bump stop with the radius arm and bracket attached, then drill the holes for the radius arm bracket ...

Sometimes I am a complete idiot. I couldn't find the lengths, but I had seen a couple that vaguely described it as being a 2 inch lift coil. Yeah, the it'll be the 244412.

So what's the general consensus on springs? I am leaning towards the Pro Comp 24212 coils that have a rate of 400 lbs/in. But is that going to be too soft? Would the 24612 with 450 lbs/in be better matched with the Deavers

I already have the quad shock setup on my Bronco, so I could do that. I was also thinking about removing the shock mount from my old radius arms, drilling the Solo arms, and bolting them on. Does anyone who has run the Solo arms have any pictures of what they have done for shock mounts? I hear ya on...

Well, I have gone the C&T route, and I couldn't be more excited! I picked up the Solo beams and radius arms from Damon1272 on the parts classifieds, so now it's onto choosing the right coils. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm leaning towards Rancho's, but I've heard they're on the stiff side. Ad...
