1995 Bronco - Slow lowbudget Gofast Project

Post by robertcrav »

I thought the rear wind deflector needed to be shaped like this to keep the back window clean...had ones similar on the Ramchargers I used to have

thanks, yeah it feels good, the spoiler takes in air inside the spoiler threw the front and pushes it down the rear window much like that one on that jeep. just it has a lot more showy around the actual function

Got the alignment done, costed over $900 because she needs all new U-joints, balljoints, tie rods, wheel bearings...pretty much everything at least its all perfect now

Image

havent had a chance to actually take her out for a good high speed run yet... will do as soon as I fix the dashboard vibration

Ok after my first test pre-run with ole penny Ive decided to take a more juristic route of plans

front:
-Auto-Fab Style (home made) Spring Bucket and shock towers
-2.5 Fox Remote Reservoir Shocks

Rear:
-Deaver springs
-longer shackles
-2.0 Fox Emulsion Shocks
and eventually a 2-link


Hopefully that'll be a rad setup, ready to rock and roll

Well the truck went back on the hoist for the final tighten down of everything involved with the lift. However Im now having trouble deciding on my shock setup, Ive gotta set of F250 shock towers, and I was thinking of doing similar to what joxracing did, where I leave the stock coil tower, cut the main shock portion off and weld a plate there, then install the F250 tower in its place, therefor I should be able to use a double eyelet shock which opens up the possibilities.

Then I was Pricing out, for me a Blistein 5100 shock for the stock setup with a 4" lift came to $95 a shock. a 5150 of simular length came to approximately $130 a shock. and while a Fox Emulsion shock came to about $125 a shock and a 2.5" Remote reservoir shock was $170 per shock

if anyone could gimmie the advantages of each setup? least for the front, havent even touched base with the rear. Looking to start seriously moving it in the gofaster than stock direction

Full Droop

Well took her out in sum sand today, I can say she did extremely well. my only complaint is the passenger side dash, and the truck needs to be re-geared after putting on the 35's!

I need to get a video of her out there but here's a photo

Image

Also Im working on a drop center hood for it, will post pics when I have worthy progress
