Figures, more road driving. Pavement princess.

lol damn...

Not necesarily. Ford did some weird things when it came to driveline. IIRC '88 and up hadthe bigger flange on the pinion on both the 7.5 and the 8.8, except on the BII which I think kept the baby joints. When I swapped in an Expo 8.8 on my 92 the bolt pattern on the flange was the same, as was the flange pattern on my '88 2WD. But the pattern on my '87 parts truck and all BII's I've seen are thesmallee pattern. Hope this helps!

[Andres629]

Hey Boggin, I did get those bushings, thanks! A few updates... The BII is under the knife! Got my 8.8 in, am putting the 35 in tomorrow hopefully, and the M5OD on Thursday! Got a long arm lift coming, 1.5-2.5" beam drop brackets, 4.5" 2WD coils, Bilstein 7100, and custom coil buckets with f250 shock towers.

Don't have any pics of the rear axle going in. I'm on a schedule, I have to have this thing done by the weekend so I haven't really been stopping to take pictures. I guess I have to now. =P

 

[Boggin]

[Andres629]

Just so you all know...

Mmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmm! 15x10's just like I wanted, WITH beadlocks already installed! $250 CDN, so stoked!

 

[BONES]

Wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Andres629]

Yeah buddy, so stoked! I stuck one of my buddy's 35" Kevlar MT/R on the same rims onto the Bronco one day to see how far they stick out... let's just say probably 50-60% of the tread is outside the fender.

Bones, what did you do to mount your mudflaps to the chopped out fender?

 

[The_Dealer]

so u are using 1.5-2.5" drop downs, are they the tuff country's? also let me know how your alignment works out with the 4" coils and camber bushings. im going the same route whenever i get my camber bushings
