Going to look at a solid front tomorrow..

82 f150, 4x4, 300six

Wow, haven't posted here in forever!

Anywho, I am going to look at a solid front from a 78 bronco tomorrow! Looks to be in good shape, comes complete,brakes, radius arms all that junk. Just had a few questions about throwing it under the vehicle.

1. Can I use the broncos springs with my 82's spring buckets? Was looking at autozones web site and it says that the 78 broncos springs are 18.25" tall, vs 15.75" tall for the 82 f150s springs so the lift would be sweet too. But only thing is that the broncos spring has a tangential/pig tail 16 ends vs the 82's pigtail 23/16 end. Don't really know what that crap means, just gotta know if it can work!

2. Can you use the factory trac bar?

3. Should i grab the broncos pitman arm to or is it the same as my 82's?

I know that these answers are probably out there but I have ADD to bad to do a search, posting keeps me focused!
