AWESOME! I love junkyard tech! Good find, thanks for sharing.
Same width as stock? Did you modify the stack at all? like taking out the overload?

That's cool to see. What kind of work did you need to do to the hangers? Any sort or relocating? Any pics from underneath?

Thanks man.

Yes they are the same 3" width. I did change the overload spring to the Bronco overload because it is shorter. And these springs have 2 center pins so you can go short or long. Front pin moves it back about 1" the second pin location moves back the axle about 3". I went with the second pin location. Regarding the driveshaft I have a 30" and some change long compressed drive shaft and it work great but would like a wee bit longer at full droop. The next task I have planed is to remount my rear hitch and then move down the rear spring perches onto the side hitch plates that bolt to the frame like a Giant shackle relo kit would do and get longer shackles for some serious droop.

Right on... Have you measured for travel numbers? How's it do at 40+ in the dirt?
