Thanks guys!

Sorry I’ve been so bad at keeping this thread updated.


Lots and lots of progress on the bronco. I’ve actually got a few hundred dirt miles on it so far!

Ohhhhh that’s rough [emoji23]

Kind of a pain in the ass to have to revalve the shock, but all the extra shims is a come up!
Valving is not cheap lol

What kind of shim stack did you do?

Congrats on getting it down the road [emoji1591] that valve stack was wild [emoji23] my dad had done a disc break conversion on his Cherokee. We had been battling squishy breaks for ever….. turned out he had installed the calipers backwards…. Left on the right side and right on the left. And that ca...

Very cool congrats on getting it rolling!

Right on [emoji106]

Yo- looks like everyone is over at bad lines good times, you ever go in that site? I started a thread over there as well. But I’ll keep this one rolling as well

Very cool [emoji106] what’s next on the list?

Also I’m not sure if you had posted a picture or talked about it, but what are you doing for front inner fender wells? Are you using the stock fenders wells cut out around the shock?

Any idea on the valving? I’ve been poking around the archives to see what other guys are are running for shocks the under the bed. While you have the springs apart and cycling the rear end…. Might not be a bad time to set up some hydro bumps….. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTM0OWM5ZGQ3YXcyc...

What are you planning for shocks?

I pulled the coil overs to flutter stack the valving. It’s a 15/12 stack. After the truck is up and ready for tuning I might go back to a standard pyramid stack and open up the bleed holes a bit. I also bought some bottom coils. My spring rate is a 12” 500lb 16” 550lb I feel like spring rates are al...

The old millermatic 35 was putting down some sketchy welds, so I took a chance on the miltiproces “yes” mig welder off amazon and I am pleasantly surprised. I wish I would have bought one sooner. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250509/41557c8976d1afdc197030cd4dd58c0b.jpg I had to reroute my exhau...

I had set up the coil over to clear the master cylinder, but I set it up without the built in drum break pressure residual valve. When installed the coil over was way too close to the master. After a lot of figuring I just ended up using an 90’s explorer master cylinder. It has similar dimensions as...

I want to say it was almost $2800 t...

I really didn’t want to build a swing steer because I had NO idea how to build one [emoji23] A buddy of mine had built a double swing steer on his bronco so he let me copy his design. Because I still have the drop brackets his templates couldn’t transfer directly to my frame. So I based my swing set...

Once I was able to get the bronco settled into its new home, I built some lower shock mounts on the beams. I didn’t truss and plate the beams before building shock mounts. I probably should have. But once it’s on it’s feet, i will either extend the beams and redo the shock mounts or incorporate a tr...

Fitting a 14” coil over and bypass on stock beams was difficult, but I was able to get everything to clear full bump lock to lock. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250505/ec52f6c9fdd893cba2a9878f8079021a.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250505/31b02e05170bb039c53e842825519be5.jpg https://upl...

Thank you [emoji108]I kind of wanted to keep it “period correct” that late 80’s 90’s style. Yeah that tube placement will make or break the ride. Once the front bypasses heated up they worked well, but because they lived in the upper portion of the shock…. they got hot and would fade fast when I was...
