Well I just upsized to 35s on my F-150 so I replaced my 4" Trailmaster with a 6" Fabtech (plus my 2" leveling kit brings it up to a total of 8"). I am wondering if my Trailmaster I-beam brackets will fit my Bronco II. My Bronco will never be road driven so I am willing to do some mods to make the brackets work. I just want to know how much work I am getting myself into.

 

No, they aren't going to just "fit" in there...

New mount holes would probably have to be drilled, the eye for the I-beam may be a different diameter, they may locate the I-beams narrower or wider depending on the mount's characteristics and the fact that the BII and F150 have different frame widths, not to mention further forward (good) or backwards (bad), but then again if you are drilling the mount holes you can fix that by where you choose to mount them.

Ultimately, you really just need to look at it yourself and do a little research. Take one of the bolts out of the I-beam and check for diameter as well as on the Trailmaster brackets, check the mount's eye locates in relation to the frame on the stock I-beam mounts as well as how it would on the Trailmaster.

Again, you really have to determine this yourself. I seriously doubt many people have done this ever, and doubt even more that someone on here has, so research will be difficult on the web. If you can fab, you can make it work. It all depends on how much time you want to put into it and are you lazy...

 

I tried to compare the brackets but there is too much mud and clay cemented to the bronco. I guess I am going to have to pressure wash it to get a better look.

 

I think I may be able to make the F-150 kit work. Once summer is over and things slow down I am going to tear the Bronco suspension apart and make it happen.
