That wouldn't happen to be the same truck that's on powerstrokenation in the OBS stacks thread is it.. actually it has to be. Midnight chrome stack is the sex.

never been too big a fan of the middle stack but its a nice truck, expanding from just f150's and 250's now and looking at broncos also.

Just got done with 8 inch lift and 35's on my friends bronco 2 and i was very impressed by the lil thing

These might not all be lifted, but I'm sure the majority are:

My buddy has a 88 bronco with a 5.0 in it. Its a beater. Ive been trying to buy it off him to make a play truck. Itll go anywhere my truck will go. Not as fast, but itll go. Anytime anyone goes offroad they xall one of us cuz were the only ones that can pull em out.

i didnt read all the thread, but the bit about these trucks being beast....is simply true....my truck goes through a beating...

1994 F150 Flareside, 4" suspension lift, Goodyear Wranger Duratrac 33x12.5x15 tires, stock 3.55 gears (soon to be 4.56's) heres some pics of the truck and my latest adventure





and finally, the aftermath after a little to much speed and tire meeting a 4' boulder


yep, i bent my tie-rod....massively...driver tire straight, passenger tire facing driver tire..... backed down the hill, seperated tie-rods, did a quick trail alignment with the bent tierod to get both tires facing straight, drove down the mountain, got home, replaced tie-rods...

need to get track bars for the rear tho... to much wheel hop....

Yep,I'm a member over at FSB.com and I can vouch for Seatle FSB having a sweet Bronco.It won "Full Size Of The Month" last month.
I have a 92 5.8l with a 4" **** Cepek stage 2 lift on 33s w/ 4.10 gears.
It's nothing too radical because it is my daily driver.

still a very nice bronco and I am looking at a 5.8 hopefully everything works out.

Now back to contemplating what I want to do with the truck because I've realized that 9" mite just be too big for messing around in anything besides flat mud holes. I don't want to flip this thing. Im not rock climbing or going up anything ridiculous but I would like to follow a few friends doing something like this


I feel like anything over 6" and 35's could flip to easily, I even considered going down to 4" but i think id regret that since 90% of my offroading is mudding and trail riding

Also, im going rough country suspension lift

I voted for him lol. I'm over at FSB all the time, I just wrote some tech articles for that site, the PCV reroute, rubber vacuum system, and ICM remote mount (with XBOX 360 heatsink). Links for all of them are in my sig. Even though we have f150s, a LOT can be learned about our trucks there. Lifting\engine mods\most everything is pretty much the same on our trucks as it is on Broncos.


Kick-*** FSB BTW.

how did you want to get 9in? i am personally not a fan of body lifts. if i were you i wouldnt go any hire then 6in on a TTB dana. im running 8inches (6in rough country w/2in coil spacers) and my alignment and turning is messed up. it might just be the fact that the alignment isnt right but im not 100 percent sure. Also the tires you could clear with that amount of lift is a lot of strain for the 1/2 ton axles. not saying you cant do it cause it has defintiely been done

I would of got 9" lift with 6" rcx and a 3" body, but will probably run just the 6" lift, and wouldn't run bigger then 37's, and will settle for 35's (buying on craigslist many more 35's to choose from)

i'd like to get a wide stance so I keep stable in rough spots on the trail and a 6" and 35's will still be good on the road, eventually I may sell my 2000 so this beater may become a temporary dd so I dont plan on making this ridiculously big
