I have a build thread on CB and I post a lot to a few FB groups, but I wanted to add something here because a lot of my research on the suspension has come from this site.
I bought my first EB in 1997 when I was 19. It was a 77 and I had no idea what I had or what I was getting myself into. I did a little work to it, but ended up selling because I had no idea how to work on it and that was before Facebook and Internet forums.
I believe I bought my next Bronco in 2004. It was a 1969 that I got for a good price back then. I bought a 3.5" lift and some 35's for it. I drove it like that for awhile and then decided I was going to do a ground up restomod on it. That was a big mistake. I tore it apart and never got it back together. It was parked at my brothers property for a year or two until a guy tracked him down and offered to buy it. Regrettably I sold it to him. A few years later I ran into my old Bronco at a local Bronco get together. He did a great job on it.
When I purchased
After the lift
Finished by the next owner
Flash forward to 2012 and I ended up purchasing my current Bronco. A friend was cruising through his home town in Southern Oregon when he spotted a Bronco under a carport. He stopped and ask the guy if it was for sale and he said he needed the cash so he would let go of it. I cruised down the next day to look at it. I ended up going back the following day with a truck and trailer.
This is what I started with after I got it home and cleaned it up
I will add some pictures and short description of the updates I've made and the different stages soon so I can get this thread current.

I copied your rear fender design. I'm only running a 38 so I shortened them up a little.
