I have have my stock coils... but perches, I may know where to grind off a set. Just wondering what the upper side of your coils mount to or set in? Got a pic?

By the tones I have noticed, Calmini is on the edge of not being around. I don't know what you guys think, but the prices on the sas stuff they do have seem really reasonable. Maybe we have seen a good trend at a company who supports our junk. Wouldn't that be nice......

It is really easy to throw a chunk a receiver tubing under the upper square box... just think of all the things you can mount to it... racks to winches If you put bedliner on it make sure it is herculiner.. the rest of the brands don't cut it. Can't wait to see it on the truck :cool2:

If my rig is going to be your wallpaper... it had better look good... Here is a High Res of the 3rd pic..

I care about both ends... Most of the battle when setting this stuff up is making the front and rear play together or share the load. Now when the truck is on level ground flexing, the body sets level thus sharing the load. Here are three sets of pics: Truck level, Front up, Rear up...... its all about where the weight is at... Level: The front and rear are sharing the load, truck setting level... Rear up: The front is handling most the weight of the truck so it takes the hit Front Up: Rear taking hit... Your right... who cares... Me!!

I'll could put something together... It will be a few weeks before I can get to it though... just having TOO MUCH FUN wheeling again...

Out messing around again... Got the rear to stuff purdy good... sly

I think your are in Fort Collins... I saw some R50's at Blakes Auto Salvage in Erie....

I get waggies for around 70-100 complete at the pull your owns here in Denver, but 150 isn't a bad price if it comes with everything. Waggie axles would work fine for a SAS like mine. You would have to buy the C-wedges from jamesduff.com in order to use the radius arms from a bronco with the waggie axle. The only thing I can think that could be different is the pinion angle, I think the 73-77 Bronco pinions are pointed up a little more. So you may run into some difficulty there.. 85 Bronco will not work unless the axle is not original. Now a solid hp full width Ford Dana 44 can be narrowed by using one of these. With this you wouldn't have to wrist an arm in order to get good articulation. When you cut the axle just cut out an extra chunk of tube in order to make it the width you would want. You may have to get a custom shaft made for that side, however it would work. There is a EB housing and gears at Klamath Falls...Klamath Auto Wreckers 1-800-452-3301. I don't know what they want for it, but it may be worth a call.... A person just uses the housing anyway....

There are a few things left to do.. hmm.. isn't there always! I hear Calmini is wanting your input on their sas kit...Check It Out!!!!

I lived in Michigan for a couple years, and I made it over to your neck of the woods. I like it there!!! However about 300miles Northeast.........

A Dana 44 is half ass when locked with no tire slippage at moab.... There are folks that take a Dana 44, install Dana 60 knuckles and buy a 35 spline locker. I guess if you want that half inch clerance... it would work. I dont plan on having any problem with the stock VG30 pushing things along, but when the power gets installed I plan on problems with the front. Nature of the beast... Here is what my buddy ended up doing over time! He still comes home broken.... A high pinion should work great.. With mine there would be exhaust clearance issues. This could be fixed by running duels all the way back or moving the y-pipe/crossover pipe back by the cat...

The tires are 33x12.50 super swamper radials. I like them being interco tires tend to run a little narrow there isnt any clearance problem with the rear wheelwells. They still rub the top of the rear tubs when fully stuffed...

I go to the shops in town and they say.. all that work why didnt you go with a Dana 60 Low pinion is easier.. this EB axle is ready to go with the chevy outers. It is the same width of rear axle (Same with the Waggie axles). Most high pinion D44's are full width. Now if I was going to go through the pain of narrowing a high pinion axle it would be a dana 60... why mess with a 44... 35spline outers etc. The kewl part of the dana 60 (modified to fit an early Bronco) is that it bolts right on to my truck with this setup. So my truck is built for that option if needed. The bumper is built out of 3/16 box steel and plate. It was cheap at the local scrap yard. Before the Herculiner I had around 60 bucks into it. The bumper is probably one of the better things I have made. The only downfall to it is you can't use it with a body lift, or you must build it for a body lift. Other than that it works, I wanted it to cover the front crossmember of the frame and match the cutout front wheelwells...

My Pathy was origianally an auto tranny. After the second transmission took a crap it was time to go with a 5 speed. While this was all apart... hmm.. calmini got some of my money. So yes my tcase has a mod sly . Now with the 4.90's and the tcase I turn 5500 rpm in 5th gear at the high speed of 25 mph. The rear has 9inch rustysoffroad.com coils with 15inch travel rancho 9000's. I am at the point where the factory bushings on the rear are at the end of their ability. The bumper... here are the build pics

Here is a better shot at the trackbar...

If your buddy is running leafs the axle tends to run straight up and down, not in a radius like the ford combo. Most folks that run leafs either run a CV on the front side of the shaft or get the axle cut and the pinion turned up towards the t-case. Some seem to have more problems than others. I think mookie and the hardbody you see at calmini turned theirs around 12-13 degrees. --------------- LOL, do you really thing that trackbar runs behind the axle.... does kinda look like it at that angle. --------------- Thanks for all the compliments guys,

1. Long Travel spline 2. The front end of the Driveshaft travels close to the same radius as the radius arms... so none there. 3. Pic is worth a thousand words... Before exhaust reroute: After:

The body roll is about the same as when I had IFS. The Bronco radius arms have some swaybar characteristics by design. When I pull the pin on the wristed arm it really sways around. I think most of the sway comes from the combination of rear arms being at a steep angle and the rear locker. There is something in the works to change that. I promise I will share pics when done..... sly OX lockers got a complete redesign about a year ago... Honestly I'll let you know when I get it hooked up for real. A tech is going to help me, he has had all the lockers and totally loves the OX. Time will tell.... Bronco Arms:

Hey fella's! Axle: 1974 Bronco with 78 Chevy outers (6lug) The rest is bascially from a 78 Big bronco with a few mods here and there. It sets the same height and looks like most lifted pathys.
