          Think of it as it "was" expensive now that all the big $$ is on and the rest are only "minor" upgrades. Looks good by the way.

            Still need to weld on the New shock towers I have laying in the garage. Almost ready for the 'Con Run. All of this happened because I was looking at my tires and noticed that I would need new ones by next summer.


            Here ya go
            Yeah got alot of red wires running down the frame there... Was there a sale on red wire?

              I think it looks better in person. See you in a couple of weeks, and I will follow you through little sluice.

                Are the radius arm wedge bushing thingies in the right way? Front axle pinion angle seems low. Or do you have a non-cv driveshaft?
                I say we play follow the leader with Ryan up front.

                    Looks good Ryan, that is a lot of upgrades since last season and I think you'll be happy with the results.

                      It might be the pic but the bushings are in correct, I swear. It's a 3.5 lift with 2* bushings and the cage arms say that they have 4* built in. and there is a cv on the shaft

                        Question to the masses. If I need my front pinion to rotate up, do I need less degree in the bushings? I measured from the ball joints and i was about 2-3 degrees off of 0*. Currently I have 2* bushings with the cage arms and 3.5 coils.

                          Yes. To tilt the pinion up you sacrifice caster without doing something crazy like rotating your inner-c's. I have 2" more lift than you and I believe 2* bushings on cage arms. My front pinion angle is crappy, but you have to realize this is not an axle you're sending power to every day.

                          Mine's typically only in 4wd at very low speeds, and the front d/l will vibrate when I get up above about 20mph. If your axle can travel without binding your upper and lower u-joints then don't worry about it. Front u-joint life will be shortened, but keeping the joint lubed and carrying a spare you'll be fine. I spoke to a driveline shop about this and they agreed... not ideal for a primary drive axle but workable for a front axle.

                            Jack up your Bronco's front end (by the frame) and let the axle droop all the way down. Now try to spin your front driveline. If it spins freely, you're good to go, but it binds then you'll need to raise your pinion up a little. Even if it doesn't bind with a static droop, it could still bind up on the trail after your suspension warms up and there is force on the front axle to flex, so carry at least one spare u-joint.

                              so being at 0* is ideal, but if its close just run it?

                                You actually want a little bit of caster. That is what will help your steering self center, and drive straight down the road.
