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...
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?

He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
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().... 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..

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.

Still need 35s....anybody.....anybody.....
and they wont get softer... my bronco is much heavier than yours and i ran them for several years
someone hook this man up with some tires man.

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????
Wheel it, the answer will come to you.
I guess that means break something and then replace it with something better....
thanks
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.
raise the gas tank up or put it inside... you WILL hit it all the time
Take the body lift off and cut your fenders to clear some 38s...
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...
