Last night I started working on the new(used) lift lift that bought from tate. I added on a couple of pictures to show the progress.

I did not take a before pics so.... This pic is not my bronco, but one similiar, Mine was missing a glass and had a different color door. overall in the same condition (well mine was a bit worse), and color.

Then I added a 3" body lify(I know :rainbow: ), longer front coils and 2" blocks in the rear(also :rainbow: ), 33/12.5 Pro Comp MT's black rims, removed the swaybars, bumpers, etc... And mad few other small mods.. This pic ws after Alto, before carwash...

Last night I started on the on the New(used) lift kit I got from tate... I disassembled everything, got all of the drop brackets mounted(with exception of a couple of bolts), and started remounting the TTB.

10-06-2004, 11:17 AM
Tonight/evening I am going to finish the front(lift, longer brake lines, drop pitman arm), and start on the back, F250/F350 hangers. And I should be welding the gears and finshing the rear on Thurs evening. Oh, and I also have to take off the body lift and rear blocks....If anybody has a free evening and don't mind being paid in " all the :beer: you can drink". Then give me a shout(call or PM).

Thanks for the offer guys, I just now saw them.... And thanks to mario for calling and offering his help, but it was already to late... Oh yeah, and I'll give a shot out to Ryan for pulling me out at Alto, and offering his help... If ya'll want to come tomorrow ya'll can, But my shop is about 24 miles away and I would never ask for ya'll to drive there..... I will be heading that way tomorrow about 6ish maybe 7ish, and if ya'll want ya'll can ride with me(I wouldn't ask ya'll to waste your gas)....I know that it will be Thursday, and everybody will be going out, but if you have nothing to do, and like free beer, then halla at me.....


I got alot done tonight... Finished up the front end(lift, brake lines, drop pitman arm, springs, etc), and mounted the rear hangers.. I still need to drill some more holes in the frame slap some bolts in them(for the rear), remove the body lift, blead the brakes(could not do that alone), remount the rear bumper(considering it only has 2 bolts, is should not be a problem), remove some blocks from the rear, and weld the rearend up, "locka".... It looks real funny right now with d@mn near 10" of lift and 33's...I know that it will be Thursday, and everybody will be going out, but if you have nothing to do, and like free beer, then halla at me.....

WHAT I NEED!!!!, some cheap shocks, and 35's.... I am willing to do a little swapping if andbody has some 35's and wants 33's....

Here are some pics of the progress so far....

holy grabber green brackets batman, nah j/k man its looking really good. Are you gonna have to lengthen any of the driveshafts,

p.s paint that frame green and lissa might get a little rilled up.

william_ace
10-06-2004, 10:45 PM
that looks hella nice man. i'll come out there if the person who drives back hasnt been drinkin. i'll help though, give up a night to help a little.

savvyaggie
10-06-2004, 10:55 PM
I had to stay with the camo colors(green), but I thought this green should have a little umph.

Tate said that he did not have to change his driveshafts..... and He had blocks, I figure that the different hangers will bring the axle closer than with blocks becasue it tilts forward. I havn't got anything in a bind yet so we will see(no brakes, I could not bleed them by my self), so we will see about the front. But I will be testing it as soon as possible, probably at the deer lease this weekend(unless for some reason my boss comes back early, and it will be in gilmer)...



Thanks william, I will see who will be coming tomorrow....

That's about where you need to be. Any farther back and you run the risk of inverting a shackle under suspension droop.

10-07-2004, 01:46 AM
Yea if you were to do anything, move the hanger about .5" forward. But it'll be fine where it is.

10-07-2004, 08:02 AM
i've got 4 superlift 4" lift shocks. except they're all loop/stem (from my quad front shock setup).

you should be able to bleed them yourself. either buy those one way check valve brake bleeders. dip some anti-crimp hose in a glass jar filled with brake fluid and pump the brakes with the bleeder valve open. or... if you don't want to buy one of those expensive check valve brake bleeders, you could do this. attach this thing with the bleeder closed, then open the bleeder, pump the brakes till all the air is out, then close the bleeder. and the hose doesn't HAVE to be non-collapsing since it's only a one way check valve in the valve stem.

I wasn't going to do anything to the Rover tonight, but I had to come to the shop to get a couple of things, and well, I just finished welding up the rearend,"locka"!!!! Funny how those things happen... We'll see if it holds, first time doing it....... Actually, there seem to be a slight amount of slack in the passsenger side "carrier/case beering" under the main cap(not sure exactly what that bearing is called).. Not sure if any or how much slack should be there, probably none, but we will see how long it last because it didn't slow me down any.... I will put it back togather tomorrow or sat.(and bleed the brakes, and take off the body lift)....

I am just ready to get it it's "off-road ability/performance" to a 2-3 on a 1-10 scale....


I forgot my camera, which is proboably a good thing because my welding skills are not the greatest....

I sure do want to go to gilmer this weekend...I hope my boss comes back in town early so I can go...

you ever gonna do a sas?

maybe if I ever run out of other crap to do... nah, i will be getting a jeep soon (once I sell my truck), and I will have this as a backup/hunting buggy.... That is what it started out being(hunting buggy), I have a rack that bolts from the rear bumper to the windshield with swivel seats, spot lights,and gun racks(redneck, baby!!!!)..... Plus, including every everything that I have done to it within the last week, I only have about $1300 in the whole rig.... So it's my budget buildup.. Don't want to put to much money in it, because I might actually care about it...

it's only a one way check valve in the valve stem.



isnt the valve stem backwards in the drawing?

10-08-2004, 03:54 PM
Just put the rearend back togather, everything seems to be fine..... We'll see how long it will hold up.... I should be bringing it the the deer lease on sunday and trying it out... My deer lease is about 7 miles from fort hood, so ya'll know the terrian. I will take some pics...

savvyaggie
10-09-2004, 12:00 PM
Just finished breeding the brakes, and tightening a few bolts, so I thought I would check and how it flexed... I still have to take off the body lift, and do a few other small things...... but here are some current pics.... I was hopeing that the front springs were a little softer, but maybe they will loosen up over time. I actually got farther up my makeshift RTI ramp with my stock coil springs, removed swaybars, and just a body lift(over these springs and my leveling springs), what gives?? With my stock coil springs I could tuck my front wheel, and I could get to were I was sitting(in the pic)on the ramp....

savvyaggie
10-09-2004, 12:32 PM
There are some soft ride springs on ebay right now, will that make any difference????

william_ace
10-09-2004, 01:22 PM
maybe, and i dont know for sure, but i bet if you found a set of used ext. radius arms that it would make a pretty large difference. then on top of that the soft riding springs, you'd have a very capable ttb bronc.

savvyaggie
10-09-2004, 01:38 PM
I have been trying to find some ext. radius arms, but I have the same radius are arms as before(stock), and I had more travel with the stock coils??? I just thought I would of a little more travel or at least the same amount of travel with these coils, and not less. Don't get me wrong, I like the new lift(more clearance), but I just thought the front would performed a little better...

stx4wheeler
10-09-2004, 04:06 PM
well the coils are gonna be stiffer since they are that extra 6 in taller which puts more force on the spring and would cause it to bow, also most ifs lifts are not known for gaining to much on the uptravel side yet more on the donw travel if i remember right. longer radius arms would help some to, i am gonna proly start building mine and odering metal to make them and we could prolly rig up some for your bronco, slighty modified from mine to work with the ttb arms. gimma call man 979-574-5870


also that blue suburban is feaking huge, i saw it and jordans bronco today on the way to my field trip. it looks to have a 60 front swapped in and to be on like 44 bogger, correct me if i am wrong, is that the shop where you do all your work jordan?

savvyaggie
10-09-2004, 04:24 PM
Yea, I know they have to be stiffer, but I still have less than stock(basically...) I have been thinking about making some longer radius arms, I jsut wanted to know how much of a difference it would make first....

And Yeah, that is where I do all of my work, kind far outside of town, but I have pretty much everything I need there and 24hour access, and a cold frig( :beer: ).... The burban it the background is huge(to huge), I have only had it up to about 40mph and had to slow down, kinda freaky to drive.. 44's SAS, 454, etc....here is a couple of pics of it...The owner of the place drove it into the creek that is next to the shop, and broken the front driveshaft trying to get out...It was rather funny...

we're all suppost to go to Alto, Halloween weekend. He is bringing both of his Jeep's and that beast...And a few of his friend's are all bringing their rigs out there for the weekend(all carlot dumba$$es, that think they know it all), Their so f****n stupid, BUT fun to watch. You can just sit back and laugh at them all day, because they will f*** up every vehicle that they bring, fixem there, and do it again. Carnage from last time they went: 1 blown engine, 4 starters, hydrolocked another engine, and ripped a rollcage out of a jeep, because they didn't want to crawl in the mud to hook up a strap..

stx4wheeler
10-09-2004, 05:20 PM
well i am not sure you will gain much flex at all now that i think of it, because you are already running drop down brackets on the stock radius arms, so really the radius arm is not causeing much bind or anything, most people at least with Solid axles, go longer arms so that they dont have to use drop down brakets and sacrifice ground clearance so i doubt you are gonna get much more flex with the ttb with the extended arms, putting money into ttb axles and suspension is kinda like polishing a turd, cause no matter how much you do it is still gonna be ****. yuo might do a search on fullsizebronco and see what they have to say about it.

yeah, because it is not the radius arms that limiting movement it is the springs.. Oh well, guess that is as good as it gets with TTB...

so I have a better lift, F350 hangers, welded spider gears, no swaybars, and I have taken off as much stuff as possible(weight). I still need shocks, and 35's, and to take my body lift off.... Now, I am looking for sugestions, but don't want to spend to much money on this budget mobile...What else can I do to this POS, besides SAS, gears, $$$ etc., to improve it off road... I am thinking to tuck the skid plate up closer or making a new one to be the next project... Any ideas????

if you're wanting softer coils, look into wild horses stuff. those springs are use, and have had the **** beaten outta them so i dont think they'll soften up much. extended radius arms would make a huge difference as well.

Shaggy
10-10-2004, 05:28 PM

Take the body lift off and cut your fenders to clear some 38s... :D

savvyaggie
10-10-2004, 07:40 PM
I think I'll jsut break alot of stuff with 38's....

The body lift is coming off.....

The rear springs with the different hangers and such hang down as far as the gas tank...

How will the ext radius a springs compress more??? The springs are what is restricting no the arms...

BigRedFord04
10-10-2004, 07:53 PM
i think you misunderstood me. i made two statements:

1) Wild Horses coils flex like mad (look into EB 5.5" ones)
2) Extended radius arms would help as well.

38"s and TTB wont like each other.

william_ace
10-10-2004, 08:00 PM
when are you gonna take the body lift off?

Shaggy
10-10-2004, 09:10 PM
doug k has a set of eb wild horses he needs to get rid of... i can check what he wants for you if you would like... and i agree 38 and ttb wont be smart... hell 35s break shafts pretty easily

he would have to change out the coils buckets and possibly the coil cup on the bottom to which is way more work that ttb is worth, and if i remeber right if it is a eb 5.5 in coil from wildhorse it will only give a fullsize 3.5 inches of lift.

Shaggy
10-11-2004, 10:52 AM
it is like 8 i think

savvyaggie
10-11-2004, 04:18 PM
So which is it 3.5 or 8 inches???

savvyaggie
10-11-2004, 04:25 PM
Actually, I think I am going to keep it how it is for a while(front setup) and tune everthing as I go. That way I will be able to decide exactly what I want out of them.

I sure do like the welded spider gears, it came in handy this weekend...Went out to a friends place and played for a few minutes Sat. night...

Shaggy
10-11-2004, 05:02 PM
i think they are 8" lift springs so probably like 5 or 6 on a full size

BigRedFord04
10-11-2004, 05:46 PM
wild horses has all kinds of different spring rates they make springs at to compensate for different engines, bumpers, winches or lack thereof, etc etc....just get the heaviest duty ones and it'd be good for a fullsize.

When I got back from the stand, this is what I saw(not the first three pics, they were from before I left to go hunting).... please look at the last 2 pics and see what they did.....

I have been restoring classic camaros and corvettes for about 4 years, and I have also been into chebbys... This was my first ford, and everybody was givin me a hard time about it since I never built mustangs..... so I took all the ford emblems off of it and put a land rover one on the back, just some :rainbow: **** that made the bronco end up with the Rover....

It just a windshield and its just a truck that I have less than $1400 in... I bought it with one thing in mind, to have fun( for me or anybody that is with me, which includes those girls, and the guys from last weekend that caused the body damage on the passenger side)..... So I really don't give a **** what happens to it, I mean that is why i bought it.... It's not like it is DD or something that i even care about... It has one purpose, To have fun in......and to use for hunting....Hell, i'll just bust it all the way out, perminant safari windows!!!! use the dash as a gun rest....

Least the tires are alright. You need to put some dents before they take all the fun out of it.

No, they showed me the tree branch that did it.... They were going through a trail(while it was raining) that was real narrow... I just don't know if they slide into it or just did not see it or what....

Got it for $9 plus shipping online... It has an L shaped blade. you just stick the L part down into the seal, turn it(to straighten it), and pull. You pull with the handle on the cable and keep the tool level with the other handle. I saw it used one time, and I knew I had to have one.... They work great...
