Lookin good!

Re: Blwngsket Project

That's what we where thinking. Maybe some Deevers. Might want to try those 3.5's.

Look's great! What coils do have front and rear now? I have spent a lot of time comparing spring rates for bronco coils and Deaver's are by far the softest. Older BCB springs are Deavers, but they no longer sell Deavers and there new one's are stiffer.

I have Wild horses 5.5" progressive up front and WH 3.5 progressive in the rear.
The Deaver website says that Bronco graveyard and BC sell there bronco coils. I'm thinking I may get rid of the stock coil towers up front and weld in some Ballistic's and another set of 3.5" springs. That or some 4 or 5" Deavers.

Mine was pretty balanced with WH 5.5" front and WH 3.5" rears. I switched to 4.5" Deavers in the rear to get a little softer and level things out(it was a tad low in the rear) and now the rear overworks the front. The rear flexed more with the Deavers but it allows more body roll on the highway too. I picked up some 4.5" WH coils to try in the rear, but haven't had a chance to try yet. If it still flexes more in the rear I may try the Deavars in front too.
Keep in mind that if all your front c-bushings are new they will break in some and become more flexy.

Re: Blwngsket Project

Yeah.... everything is new... I think I'll wait until I twist it up a bit on the trail this summer. Beside I think I have enough flex for now.
Can't wait

Is that legal, running the ramp on the street?

Where's a cop when you need one?

Hey,I had a cone out, and law Enforcement was aware of the situation.

Re: Blwngsket Project

If I remember right, a rule of thumb for coils from the same manufacture is that the taller the spring, the more rate it will have. I say run it for a while, and then think about switching up the front. Maybe even trying the 3.5's in the front and some stockers in the back.

My house bitch Joe just gave up some of the pic's he took on "flex it up day". Also got one of Justin 's mini me (has that same intense look).

Re: Blwngsket Project

That is some sweet flex bro!

Re: Blwngsket Project

Re: Blwngsket Project

Sunday was 205 rebuild day. I'd like to thank Patrick for the use of his garage, and Justin for flying co pilot and snapping pictures. Can't forget his skills at reading the re build manual and keeping track of the new parts.

We got to Patrick's at about 12:15 and left at about 9:30. No fartin around, It took us that long.

Re: Blwngsket Project

I bought some new shift rails to make my 205 a true twin stick. You can see the difference between the two. Patrick did a little weld fill here and a little grinding there to make very good copies out of his stock rails.

Re: Blwngsket Project

9:30 at night and the job is done. I couldn't resist and had to buy the billit bling bling for mine. I was surprised at how easy this truly was.
Good time with good people. Thanks again Patrick for the garage and the swag. Buy the way. Did you guys notice. Patrick has a stainless steel folding table?
