Those heavy flaps might leave a mark

Yea, i figured if you're moving away from the 4.10's you want a noticable difference but you still want it to be streetable.

4.56's aren't too much of a jump over 4.10's, so 4.88's or 5.13's would be my options, with more of a leaning towards the 4.88's

I wish I could find a jy axle with 4.88's to run a little, I hate to do it twice but if i go 5.13 and feel far off I can swap the 39.5's for 42's, wait! now that's just stupid

That's certainly one way to "re-gear".

Stinky7-11 where did you get the steering arm block? I installed the front springs and it's looking like the drop pitman arm I got from Skyjacker isn't going to be enough of a drop.

The block is from Jeffs Bronco Graveyard, part # 22986, cost $70. Also look at Adj Drag Link part # 22980. I used the pitman arm, drag link and block, Together It all works perfect.

Thanks! I've got an adjustable drag link from Skyjacker and when you combine it with the drop pitman arm I have is supposed to be good for 5-7 inches. I found this out after reading the instructions that came with the pitman arm!. I'm gonna install them and see what kinda angle the drag link is at. If it looks like it's too much for my liking I'll order the steering block. Which kinda sucks cause I already put in an order at JBG.

Here is what it looked like the day I brought it home. I'll post some pics of it in it's present state soon. And before anyone asks I did not pull it home with the tie down straps like that. The truck was just put on the trailer when this was taken.
