This is a cool build!!! will you drive it on the street? The reason I ask Is my tires on my ranger stick out a bit and the cops love to screw with me. I would love to go full width but I cant afford the damn tickets. Fender flairs will just get ripped off by a tree, and I like to drive it every day. Anyway nice work, cant wait to see that thing in action!!!

so ill be doing a body swap and putting a 91' explorer on the bronco frame (unless i have problems like chevtech) so after pouting like a little girl for a few days I'm back to work unfortunately i am not going to use the bronco frame as i was trying ...because of the dips and bends in the frame the closest i could get the body to the frame was 6+ inches and i didn't like the idea of having a huge body lift sooo this is what i did. stripped it cut it up

well after tearing down the rebuild i started getting things put back together again! cut the old spring perches off so i can put these perches on got the axle all cleaned up cutting all the crap off the explorer frame got it set in place but still gotta weld but that will get done when later i flipped the spring around so the axle is pushed about 5" to the rear
