Nothing wrong with that. I've decided after pricing paint jobs that both Bertha and Broncdizo are getting spray paint jobs above the body line and line-x below. I can't see paying 6K on paint when I know I'll be scratching it a week later.

I just painted my wife's horse trailer with a rattle can. 20 cans of Rust O leum Gloss white and two cans of torredor red for the stripe. I felt it came out pretty well,

it is a solid 10 foot paint job.

That's all I feel I really need. At most races the sportsman/hobby guys are in such a hurry to put their tires and tools in my truck to get a race truck fixed they don't pay any attention to what they are doing. I always end up with new scratches or dents.

Funny how the pros/oldtimers don't get all worked up like that.

[Rwies]

Yeah i cant justify spending $500 on a cheap paint job when im just going to scratch it all up...I would way rather put that $500 toward the rear susp or cage.

Im picking up a set of f53's this weekend from Tony tcm_glx. I also got a set of solo's extended shackles which also adapt to the narrower 2.5 spring. Just need to make the .25 adapters and im good to go!

When I picked up my shackles the guys over there gave me some nice machined spacers. May want to check with them on this.

Right on Randy!! They are sitting here wiating for ya. See you on Sunday.

So how did the install go today? Was great to meet you by the way!

[Rwies]

Tony, it was nice meeting you as well...your bronco is sweet! The install went good however I got the wrong shackles so solo is making me a new set as we speak. I was able to finish it though using the factory shackles and some spacers and wow what a difference! Seams to be stink bugging a bit though, the rear is about 2" higher then the front...Im hooping a full tank of gas might help. Ill post some pictures once i get the shackles on

Thanks again Tony

The shackles may bring it down a little also.

Big thanks to the guys at Solo Motorsports, great service and extremley knowledgable. This was my first bronco/TTB build and these guys really took the time to explain everything to me!

Tony thanks again for the springs. I gotta go meet up with you guys one of these days!

Lookin really good Randy!! Glad she is coming together.

[philofab]

Wow, that's a lot of droop. Does the driveshaft bind at droop?

I havent checked to see if it binds yet but I will! Heres the thing, Im temporarily running these 5100's until I can save some $$ for the 12" king tripples I want. Im pretty much just driving around the streets until then so i figured whats the point in mono leafing the rear, cycling it, and strapping it if im just going to do it again in a month or two.

[tcm glx]

Should be ok.

This was taken today at full droop, no bind at all. Keifer did set my pinion angle for me.

[Rwies]

Oh Snaps, Looking good Tony! Thanks for the info

[Rwies]

Hey Tony what spring rates are you running up front? I think mine is a bit soft.
