Your main options for calibrating the speedometer or Forescan, and yes there is a chance of messing something up. But doesn't happen too often with simple changes if you take your time and pay attention. And also the Ford ProCal, very expensive if you're only doing it to calibrate the...
Yep you'll get all kinds of opinions over brand names and such. I can say the Badlands soft shackles work great. They are a little stiff compared to others I've seen but they do the job. I would get two of their's and at least one of the short tree savers.
Yeah I've seen people complain about nuse or something with their tailgate, and swearing you need a reinforcement for it. Not sure what they have going on, I just know mines been fine.
It has plenty of torque, but it gets into the boost because of the load which which will guzzle fuel.
I love my manual Bronco and wouldn't own an auto, but I'm on 37's and I barely get out of fourth gear around town.
Thst being said this is one of the best manuals I've ever owed.
It's not absolutely mandatory to add a reinforcement. Especially if you are staying with 35's.
I have no issues with mine. I wheel the hell out of it as is with no issues. I have 37's and steelies that weigh 110lbs.
Yeah I'm already thinking I don't really want them doing this with my engine harness. Once I get more info I will probably just plan on doing it myself.
I was kind of wondering about this as well. I feel like a lot of us with air compressor mounts in that front passenger side area could possibly be a hindrance.
Replaced with the Metalcloak clearance kit. It's the shiny zinc coated pieces you can see bolted on now. I was getting really bad rubbing and tearing things up.
This is directly behind the driver front tire. It's underneath that honeycomb piec, and at the body mount. Once you relocate everything else it's in a pretty vulnerable spot. Arguably it's already in a really vulnerable spot if that area was to get hit like someone else mentioned. I just used...
Got it, make sense! I mostly wanted to make sure because I knew a guy near me that was convinced he had to go to the dealer for everything and they were like 45 minutes from him, and it wasn't cheap.
If they're replacing them under warranty, yeah definitely. If you are having to pay for them it will cost you a lot more. For essentially the exact same shafts but unpainted.
If it was me I would do the Ford performance painted axles to get back on the road, you could buy a couple sets of those rather than the upgraded unknown axles that may not really solve your whole problem. I really think a diff drop is what you need if it's due to the excessive droop.
There's literally no reason it would ever fail. It has more structure than most body mounts ever have. My view is I trust this over having somebody weld a new one onto my frame. That has more question marks for me than this.
Almost went that route. But I'm currently unable to weld them myself and don't have anyone I trust. Decided to stick with the stock mounts. Only cost me a couple Diablo blades anyways so I'm happy.
