Straight axle conv. kit
I'm seriously considering developing a straight axle kit for Ford Rangers and I know that the Ranger and Bronco II are the same (suspension wise). I was wondering how many wheelers with Broncos out there would go for such a thing at a fraction of the cost that the aftermarket MFR's are asking. Thanks.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 30-Dec-00 AT 08:25 PM (EST)[/font][p]I've been an automotive entusiast since I was a kid and just recently have taken an interest in 4x4's so please forgive me for asking, but what is the advantage of a straight axle over independent? Strength?

Strength, alignment problems generally end, it's just easier to deal with.. Less moving parts.. Man the ford TTB front end had a myrid of problems, but was still a great front end. A solid axle would just make these invincible..
Yes, I would be interested.. or in at least plans for it.. I'm driving a car right now after selling my 78 f150 4x4, and am looking for a good bronco 2 without engine/tranny to put a 302 into.. My 150 was just too big to go were i wanted to go.

Hey Whats Up
Man I got a 90' model bronco 2 with full size axles.(dana 44 and ford 9). I want to put a 350 motor 350 trans and 205 case in it. Only problem is the flipped front end. Its on the wrong side for chevrolet. Any ideas ? Thought about putting leaf sprung front end under it. Or maybe just swappin in a chevy dana 44 and doin some heavy modification to it.
