95 Bronco Build!
Re: 95 Bronco Build!
They are Giant shackles. I had to notch out the floor for clearance at full bump.

Re: 95 Bronco Build!
So where's the pics of the front end? Is it all ready for the dirt?

Re: 95 Bronco Build!
Huh? Setting it up with the beams you have then run it then tear it apart and do it again? Am I missing something here? Lol.

Re: 95 Bronco Build!
No. The lower shock mounts are on top of the radius arms so nothing will really change when I put the other set of beams on.

Re: 95 Bronco Build!
Cool. So you changed your mind on fabbing your own beams?
Kelly @ Kel Fab Creations
Re: 95 Bronco Build!
I'm still going to build a set of beams. Right now I'm just itching to hit the dirt. I spent 7 hours on this thing tonight with a buddy. The shock mounts are done. It cycles 20 inches of wheel travel with the stock beams and Camburg radius arms, with the shocks bolted in. I'm going to bump and strap it around 16. I'm figuring once the beams are done I should have close to 20 with working 4x4. Shocks are coming off tomorrow & going to Down South Motorsports. I'm pumped!

Re: 95 Bronco Build!
20" in the front? How are the u joints with this much travel? Where are you measuring the number.
Re: 95 Bronco Build!
Cycling 20, not usable, U joints are hating life. With the stock beams it's going to end up around 16" and have some gnarly camber. When the new beams are on, the same usable 16" should equate to about 20 and the camber issues will be corrected.tcm glx wrote:20" in the front? How are the u joints with this much travel?

I'm measuring from the center of the hub to the floor at bump and droop.

Are you running a ac/heater box?

Yeah, but I pushed the beams forward, running 35's, and I plan to trim it before I take it out.
Re: 95 Bronco Build!
Spent a solid day on this thing re-organizing the engine compartment. I think I've moved every component, from wiring harness's, to charcoal cans, to the intake box, put in a smaller radiator overflow, etc. etc. I've managed to keep every stock component under the hood. This is different for me because I have always ripped everything I could out of an engine compartment. Should keep her running good and smog legal!
I also got a plan together on what what I'm going to do for a cross brace. No pics because it still looks stock!
