Short story
Here is a short write up.
What was done was I started out with a stock bronco that had a dumb lift kit. Took that stuff of and trashed it. Hired Sprit Racing to put their front kit. tall King CO & bumps Then I hired a diff company for build an ARB 10.25" rear which I had Spirit modify to make it correct. After several years with broken rear leafs each year I gave the truck to Glen Strightiff at Complete Fab and he finished it. I still have the Spirit front but Glen has plated it and repaired some cracks.

Glen put the 4 link together with the truck carefully set up on the floor using his link jig and he decided on the stretch . The primary goal was to eliminate DS plunge. To accomplish that he lowered the transfer 1". The frame insert is the same material/thickness that Ford used installed butt welded and plated. The rear suspension design is classical TT/C8 that Glen builds all the time. Mine is different in that I used air C/O shocks to allow ride height adjustment for widely varying loads like passengers or extra pit boxes. Also installed Fox 4 bypass & bumps.
Sheet metal was more complicated, The floor was cut behind the seat ., The bedside was cut in front of the wheel arch. He used a donor Bronco for the parts to be inserted. He hired a sheet metal body fab guy to make it all fit. The top is 2 tops spliced together with 3 "V" ribs to brace it. The windows are custom (A big mistake due to cost.)
Bought a used Tubeworks rear from a racer and let Dirt Tech prep it for the 4 link. Jason Hughes put the internals together. 4.56 spool. Glen installed the Mitler Bros steel FF ends with 40s axles
Then we sent the Bronco to the local hot rod upholstery guy with all the interior parts and he finished it off.
End result R coil towers are behind the stock seat and my large emergency box fits between. Spare inside and on the custom bumper.
My latest DIY project is a cabin air filter. I will post that task when done. 3 or 4 pics should do it with little typing.
In conclusion go to "fullsizebronco.com" and do a search on my name PWMTN and read my posts.
