Bronco Mods

Hey all,

I've been into offroading since before i could drive.  I finally got a real 4x4, a 1990 Ford Bronco EB.  Right now its sitting on 32x11.50x15 combo of Wild Country Radial RVTs and Maxis Bravo 750 ATs.  It alredy holds its own on the trails i take it on but there are still some things left i want it to do.  Throw out any suggestions or just hit me with a stick and say "Silly kid you know you cant do that."

First i want to get a suspension lift between 4-6"  I was thinking of Rancho for the 4 but I recently saw a truck on a 6" adn that looked hot.  This will also get rid of the shocks that have been on it since 1990.

Next i went to desertrat.com and found a good tire and rim deal with goodyear at/s or mt/r on us wheel rock crawlers.  I really want 35x12.50x15 ( I actually want those new Mickey Thompson 46x19.50x15 but Ill keep dreaming)  Any tire suggestions would be great.

I'm pretty happy with the 5.0 V8 thats in it.  I know I sound stupid but I was wondering what the huge advantage of a Dana 60 would be on my truck.  I was also wondering about the interior.  I dont have the back bench and I want to rip out the carpet and diamond plate the floor and most of the walls in the back so I can take the fibergalss top off and go mudding without worrying about messing up the back.  I also wnat to bolt down a tool box in the back (as there have been complaints of being hit with the small ones that i have in it now).  Deffinately thinking about getting some Corbuea Offroad seats with 4 pt harnesses as I do catch plenty of air. 

Any suggestions overall would be great.  THX

a bronco and a bronco 2 are completely diferent.

u could propably get 35's on a full size bronco with f250 coils, camber bushings for the upper ball joints ad a leaf or two in the back or a 2" block(maybe both just to level it off)

u sound like a pretty extreme wheeler so a little more suspention travel to obsorbe the jumps may be a good idea.

if u want to swap out a D 60, get a 4 link done and some king coil overs. its pretty pricy but it would work great for speedin around and gettin air in ur bronco. the D 60 is way stronger than the D44 ttb setup in there now and if u want to put bigger tires than 35's the ttb wont take it at all, 35 is pushing it  a little as it is.  so buying a pricy lift for it may be a waste of money, dana 60 live axle is a far better way to go.
