Re: BronCoyote
Money and your Fabrication abilities are the limiting factor. AutoFab, Complete Fabrication, Solo MotorSports and a couple others on here could build you a proven go fast setup.
Re: BronCoyote
I'm gonna see what about $3K can get me in terms of mostly plug/play suspension upgrades. Thanks for all the info, will research further! Also need to complete (and pay for) all these motor mods before I tackle suspension. Goal is to have a race ready truck by July for the Gambler 500.
Re: BronCoyote
Couple new pics today, nothing too exciting. Took off front end and got flywheel/clutch installed on engine. http://broncoyote.businesscatalyst.com/pictures.html

Re: BronCoyote
For 3k you could do some deaver J40's in the back, Threat motorsports shock mount, and some good 2.5"x12" stroke shocks in the back, with threat shackles.
In front, you might talk to Threat motorsports, or solo about some c&t beams.
You can spend insane amounts of money on suspension!
Front coilovers are pretty expensive, and require some serious fabrication, or expense on coilover mounts from spirit, southwest, or a solo motorsports engine cage.
I am pretty new to this stuff, and I am getting close to finishing my bronco, you can check out my build thread, "The Beast".

Re: BronCoyote
Helpful, thanks! 

Re: BronCoyote
Yeah those coil over towers/buckets seem to be a more universal mount like you'd buy from poly performance or ruff stuff. The autofab ones look quite a bit different.

Re: BronCoyote
Nice! Can't go wrong with autofab.
Re: BronCoyote
Can you post more pics of this with shocks mounted? Also links/prices helpful. I know nothing about building suspension and the threads about it are seem to be like 20 pages deep with a lot of ADHD. I'm looking for the the simple rugged complete setup.
Re: BronCoyote
The autofab buckets retail for $1200. They bolt right up to the stock bucket holes. Mount a 14" shock.

Re: BronCoyote
I have to agree, Autofab A+++
Re: BronCoyote
Would I need to alter my fenders to accommodate the wheel travel? Anything other parts I'd need to change?

Still need to dramatically upgrade the suspension.
