You could also get Giants brackets and use your stock beams.

Explain this to me and maybe a link. Essentially I found a guy selling autofab beams with the uniballs and trying to meet with him to pick them up. Also it is the rancho lift kit. Seems like I just need to meet with you one afternoon Ryan since you're on my side of town. Where is the beer icon ha.

I'm confused by the question. Yes they will work great with cut and turned beams. I have a parts bronco at my shop that these are on. Fabricated are nice but not needed unless you go real wide and run hard many people have many off road miles on stock pivots.

Okay, those of us that have C&T beams are using the stock pivots. We get our lift from the longer coils we can use due to the C&T beams.

Drop brackets lower the beam mount thus giving you the ability to run a longer coil.

http://giantmotorsports.com/content/category/7/24/37/ offers the beefed up drop brackets I was referencing, I did I quick search on that page but couldn't find them. You may want to call or email to get a price. Geoff (the owner) is a super nice guy and will talk you through your questions. Ive ridden in his Bronco with his drop brackets and stock beams and it works VERY well.

Im not trying to talk you out of the Autofab beams just letting you know there are options that are less time and labor consuming.

If you want to go smash around Sycamore sometime just let me know.

Youre idea sounds a hell of a lot easier. Saw the beams on craigslist locally and beyond being a good upgrade it would let me rebuild my front end like i have been meaning to. Seller flaked on me yesterday so who knows what his plan is. It looks like giant wanted 729 for the brackets but will need to call and verify. I will take you up on a trip I work out your way and only live in gilbert.

Hollander,

Where is your shop at and how much for the factory ones? Will be out in So Cal next weekend and can come by the shop if that works best.

My shop is in Vista Ca. If you pull the brackets off you can have them. If one of my employees does it just pay their time. Is that fair?

Fair to me. I assume I can bolt them on vs using rivets like the factory for the passenger side?

I have a set of stock pivot brackets. I am in riverside. You can message me at (951)452-4050. They are already off the truck and sitting here.

If anyone needs a factory bracket I have another passenger side but not another driver side.
