3/4 ton front end?
How hard is it to swap in a 3/4 or 1 ton front end? Ive heard that I need to get leaf springs custom made because the originals from the front end wont fit or stick out too far on the bronco.

Since the Bronco never came with leaf spring front end you really would need to modify the axle to accept coil perches and radius arm brackets. Why would you want to do this anyhow?

I was given a 7.3idi, and I'm planning on putting it in this winter. I was thinking, would a dodge front end work? I haven't measured one yet, but at least the one I have at work, already has the coil springs

There is a bolt in kit available now for a d60 and uses coils. its a stout kit for those that have done it.

check out the solid axle thread over on FSB.com so much info on solid axle swaps your head will spin.
