Upping the ante
I wheeled the BroncoII all summer with 31's and I have destroyed the Dana 28. First I grenaded the center U joint and took out the 1 yoke. So she became 3 wheel drive up till the last run when the wheel joint blew and you cant even tell there was a joint there I took out both yokes. So I pulled the 28 out last night and I'm getting the 35 ready to go in with some 4.56 gears/ 4" lift coils / and I'm building some longer radius arms. I have decided to canter the TTB's instead of using drop brackets and I've already built the jig to do it. Does anyone know if I will need to shorten the front driveshaft? I know without a lift you do but with a 4" lift what can be expected? For the rear I'm putting in a 8.8 with explorer leafs. I'm not sure if I'm going to build longer shackles or put in a block to level the truck. Pro's n con's?? If I tip the pinion up will I need to lengthen the rear shaft or will it work as is? I have a set of 15x8 rims but I havent decided on 33's or 35's yet. I have had a blast wheeling this truck and cant wait to get the 4' lift and axle swap done! RB
