Yeah I have a 7'' lift which includes a 4'' suspension lift and a 3'' body lift. The front suspension lift for the TTB came with a drop bracket where the radius arm connects to, longer coil springs, and a longer drop bracket for the steering.
Yes the tires perform great, I defenitly going bigger next time I'm shopping for tires. The only problem I ran into was that I don't have enough offset in the rims so the tires hit the radius arm during sharp turning.
The one recurring problem I've been running into is my 9''. I usually put a mini spool in and the pin that goes through the middle of the spool has snapped on me 3 times and then destroyes the whole differetial usually. They sell a heavy dutty pin for like $10-$20, so I can't wait to get one and see if it fixes my problem.
But there is no better feeling than going out mudding and showing up V8's all day. Better yet pulling them out when they get stuck!!

You can buy a set of springs to adjust the secondary opening point on a holley.
That is the advantage to holley carbs. The same carb out of the box can be tuned for high performance, towing, or milage. There is nearly twice the work to do the same thing on a edelbrock. The only drawback to the holley is they tend to be a bit leaky.

I need to replace the radius arm bushings in my '91. I was thinking that would be a decent excuse to just lift the bronco. Lift kits that use longer radius arms though are expensive a little hard to come by now for that year. It's good to know that just using drop brackets works well too. I can't decide whether to lift or not LOL. Though I will definitely change the bushings once I close on a house I'm buying and have a garage. Some pretty gnarly road wander going on.
Since you seem to be willing and able to replace complete third members in your 9", why not just weld your miter gears instead? Just keep around one third member that's welded and one that's open. Then throw in the open one when you'll be doing a lot of pavement driving for awhile.

Holy carp-o-la!!
I have over-size valves with p&p head, .030 over, and a whole lot more hp goodies, and a 480 cfm carb, which, now I believe, I'll be rejetting!
Thanks for the info. I'm always glad to learn about these engines.

Yeah if you have know someone who has a bigger carb like a 500cfm or bigger, try to talk them into letting you put it on your rig for the day or weekend.
Trust me, once you run it with the bigger carb you wont want to go back!!!

After all I've learned about these engines, I would not have believed what you say about the larger carbs, but now three people have mentioned the same, so it must be right. I'll see what happens with mine, with the jets, etc., and go from there.
thanks
thanks
