Near Future Bonus = Upgrades
I'm going to be getting a sizable bonus and have some plans for the BKO I want to run by everyone to get some input and what not!
Essentials: 93 XLT w/ tow package 302/E4OD/Auto-locking hubs/Push button 4x4/8.8" rear/3.55 gears
Primary use is a DD with some minor "four wheeling"
List of upgrades:
Warn Premium Manual Hub swap
Aftermarket wheels (most likely MT Classic II, open to suggestions)
33/12.5/15 Procomp M/T tires
Leveling Kit (1.5" - 2" up front)
Tranny Cooler (See this post: Rusted tranny cooler lines )
Plugs, wires, fluids (open to suggestion)
K&N Drop in Filter
Other misc items...
Any input and/or suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks!

can the procomps, especially for a DD. get some bfg MT's they will last alot longer and are cheaper. but if you like that type of tread go with micky claws they will perform even better then the procomps. also why only a leveling kit. why not just lift that thing. 4-6 would be good an look mean. get MSD coil, fms 9mm wires and just basic autolite plugs nothing fancy there. the rest looks good though
have fun

If it wasn't my DD I would definatly go with a 6" lift and 35's, but with doing those two, I would not be able to perform the necessay regear. I figure, if I go with the 33's and 10.50 wheels, I can upgrade the tires to 35's when I do get the money for the lift and regear.

Scrap the K&N. (in my opinion) Alot of people will disagree, but (IMO) they only let in dirty air, ending in an engine rebuild sooner than normal. Why wouldn't engineers put a similar item in the car brand new if they are so good?? The air-filter in your truck is made for your truck. Just a thought. (i'll probably get a lot of grief for this one, I don't mean to be a **** disturber)

That's why I've never taken the plunge, at least for my stock motor.
If you are going to have a performance motor, then it's a given that the stock breather would go in the trash. But for a stocker, the nice, basically water-tight box and filter that the Bronco came with will work fine.

As far as Ford engineers go, They put all sorts of stuff in our trucks that is "designed" to be good but just plain sucks, such as: TTB suspension (alignment nightmare), Tailgate designed to rust, our auto hubs just plain suck, and the ability to correct your speedometer after adding larger tires, oh but you can only do it 6 times!
