He still had enough time to make the 8274Quote:

I'm seriously contemplating removing the 6 inch lift and going back to stock ride hieght while I have the 33's. Thoughts on this?
If you take the lift off, you have to change the thread title to "The Dook"
Just thought I'd post up a little inspiration for this build...

mmmm long wheel base bronco....
Are they 1050 or 1250? 1050's might work but 1250's will rub everywhere (fenders bumper radius arm etc).
I'm not a wannabe Baja racer like yourself but I would put 35-37s on it and cruise it around town topless. Enjoy it for awhile instead of tearing into it
I need to get it driving good first, I figure going back to stock would be easy, simple and be a better starting point. Also the tires rub like crazy as it is.
Rub on the fenders? Or on the radius arms/frame.
Radius ARM, frame, front bumper
can you not adjust the steering stops?
Too much work... Just leave it as isQuote:

You lost me. So lower so you don't have to buy tires?
Step 1.
Sell wheels and tires for $600 to that guy
Step 2.
Sell lift for $600
Step 3.
Send beams to get cut and turned with the money you made from selling the lift
Step 4.
buy 17" methods with the money from the rims
Step 5.
Deaver coils and bilstein 5100's
Step 6.
Put my 37" toyos on said 17" rims
Step 7.
Go forth and broody
You have people interested in both the lift and wheels right now. Sell them.
You have the tires already, so the only thing you'll have to buy is the springs and shocks.
Tommy I hope you didn't waste much time on that responce. Neither 1 or 2 have panned out and I do.t have money for 3, 4 and 5. I'm talking about going back to stock for now, while I have 33s, to work on getting a better ride. I plan on driving, not trailering to the trails.
I got time to kill
Plus, it's spelled response:flipoff2:
6" lift isn't really that much too much for a bronco on 33s. Pull the add a leafs out of the rear to get it about level, then drive it a while and the front will sag. These things didn't drive that great when they were new.
I think you need new steering (either new tie rods/ends or swingset with good heims/joints, and maybe a gear box), and an alignment before you do anything else.
****, I guess ill keep the lift on. If I did go back to stock I could build the swing set steering...
My Bronco had a 3" lift and I ran 33X12.50's. I had to cut the edge off the bumper because it rubbed, other than that it did not rub. The Klogger in TTB form, which essentially the front is a bronco ran 37's with a 6" lift with no issue.
Also my Bronco was actually somewhat "nice", like I had balanced tires and did regular alignments and it drove like a giant piece of ****. Even before the lift with 31's it sucked. I mean you could keep it on the highway, but like it would not do a straight line so well.....
You can see the bumper trimming here...

Here is a "full retard" version of a bronco

I don't see that as an issue, if you need to go back to stock, then do it. Just decide if you really want swingset steering so you don't waste money on stock replacement parts.
Are you planning on keeping the TTB?
Karl, what rear wheels were those?
Why the **** is that even a question? It's TTB, the best axle ever if left unlocked.Quote:

If you don't believe me, ask one of those Jeepers in the mexican food/ land rover jumping thread.
Karl is the only person sense here
Hotpocket, would my suburban get crazy flex if I just put lift brackets to drop everything down? As long as you don't have a leaf spring ttb setup there's nothing wrong with ttb. I've seen rigs with ttb get 20+ inches of travel. Cut and turned ttb with good coilovers and longer radius arms would surprise the crap out of you.
Travis, FOA is making coilovers again if you find yourself wanting some.
Broncos drove like **** from the factory from what I understand. I've never driven one that wasn't all over the road.
That ttb lift is ****, better than some I've seen but it's still a drop bracket lift. He's not really tearing into it, just fixing it. Everything on there now sucks, coils, drop brackets, white body shocks, nothing on there now will be in the final product so why keep it? It's doing nothing but making it more mall crawler-ish now.
What I'm trying to say here is that obviously Travis has a bronco with a ****ty TTB lift or else he would not being experiencing those problems... sure, you can dump money into custom radius arms and all kinds of other fancy TTB garbage, but it isnt as easy to come by as 44 or even 60 parts.
Knowing travis, he isnt going to spend that kind of coin and can achieve much better results and be much happier with the truck in the long run if he just threw in a 79 44 and called it a day. TTB bronco stuff just doesnt come by as cheaply as making a good quality solid axle system work. That's why I asked. If he wants to build a TTB system, I'd love to see it.

D44 SAS stuff if you decide to go that route.
Ive owned 2 and would not say they drove like ****. My 86 with 4" Rancho with extended arms and a bone stock 90. Both rubbed on frame/radius arms. Big deal
Just seems so much easier to find some 35s and drive it. But you are obviously looking for a reason to tear into it so you will have an excuse to not wheel ;)
When tommy's bronco won't start, mine steps up :flipoff2:

L.o.l
Need some air bags
It's just bowing down to the awesomeness of ttb.
