I just aquired my first Bronco two weeks ago. After having gone through a few XJ's I felt I wanted to try something different. It's a bone stock '89 5.0 Eddie Bauer. I drove it home about 100 miles without any issues, but it has a tick that comes up that I want to look at. I don't have very big plans for it at the moment, just the regular tune up and maintenance. I will be getting heimed radius arms made for now, some bilstein shocks, and a 4-6" coil. I'll be using drop brackets for now, hopefully a cut and turn in the future.
now on to the pictures.

Seems like ill be needing another set of shocks. I was going to use some bilstein 5100s that a buddy removed off his bronco when he went to coilovers, but they are for a 4" coil. Anyone know what size stock is needed for a 6" coil?

Thanks.
There's no shocks on the rear, they were too short....
Arms were made by a buddy, send me a pm if you need some.

I was going through my to-do list, coming up is gears.
There's a tag on the front axle with the following number
610335-4
a google search brought up a result of it being a 4.09 stock ratio D44.
Looks like many are running 4.56s with 35s so I may give that a try.
