I did not loosen the axle nut at all, just used a jack help support the arm so it didn’t pull the axle out at all. I had used a sharpie to mark the alignment cams and I just put them back where they originally were and it wasn’t too far out of alignment, although it did require putting it on an...
Thanks! The tire to fender gap is right at 7” all four corners. I was surprised that it was right at 7 and the same on all four corners after lowering the rear all the way and adjusting the fronts where I did. I’m really happy with the stance and the ride.
I followed this video by Stage 3 Motorsports for the most part. I did not remove the skid plates. I would just recommend having multiple floor jacks ready to help you put the arm back into the frame mounts. Did not even come close to needing a spring compressor and there was no issue with the...
I’ve got the standard springs on Eibach 2.0 coilovers set at the lowest setting, do you think I would benefit from adding the Rock Jock bracket? Didn’t measure but pretty sure it was just over 2” of lift.
Did the Install myself in my driveway, came apart and went back together pretty easy using the drop the bottom of the control arm at the frame method instead of taking the knuckle apart. Some bloody knuckles and sore knees but well worth it making sure everything was put together and torqued...
Have had Synergy control arms on Jeeps and they were great quality! Loved being able to make fine tune adjustments without removing them. Would definitely consider them for the Bronco. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Ya I haven’t always chosen the cheapest option, but this definitely solved the problem I was having. Glad to hear yours is working out well. If I can avoid having to add the HD setup this will have been a good investment.
Since getting 0 offset wheels my spare has been shaking pretty good on our rough roads, haven’t been on any trails yet since the weather sucks. Decided to get the Turn Offroad adjustable tire carrier to see if it would make a difference without getting their HD tire carrier. Super easy install...
For anyone who may be questioning putting 35’s on their 2.3L engine with 4.46 gearing, you should just do it. My Black Diamond with the 2.3L, 4.46 gears, and stock 265/70/17 tires felt a bit jerky (lack a better word) in the lower gears and speeds.
I questioned adding bigger tires after reading...
Mounted some Goodyear MT 315/70/17 tires (Sasquatch) on Black Rhino Rapid 17 x 8.5 0 offset wheels. Wheels are 23 lbs, tires 53 lbs for a total weight of 76 lbs. The stock Black Diamond aluminum wheels with the 265/70/17 General tires are 74 lbs. Bronco drives better with these vs the stock...
Black Rhino Rapid 17 x 8.5 0 offset wheels and Goodyear MT 315/70/17 tires, crash bars removed. Stock Big Bend suspension, have Eibach coilovers ordered but they haven’t arrived yet.
