I don't think it makes any difference but they are from an 85 Bronco II with the stock Ranger block and an overload leaf, so basically they are stock springs.
corral canyon. Where I rolled my truck the first time Looks good when you get the gears matched up we need to get a run together out there. Where in san diego are you 40 min from there must mean east county somewhere.
Not east county, Miramar, may be a little more than 40 minutes. I don't think I am going to get the gears real soon. Plus I am moving to Wyoming at the end of July so I think a run would be out of the question. Moab will be a little closer though, I still haven't been initiated to Moab.
Yes, the front is very stiff, I am figuring out a new setup, but I'm unsure of what to use right now. Both my front and my rear shocks are too short, the shock is holding the rear tire up. Thats OK, I got the biggest step done, now I just have to fine tune it right?
I think I've pretty much got it figured out what I'm gonna do. First I will make a wristed arm with the stock radius arms, change the bushing end on the radius arms to a rod end, and I think I've decide to go with Jeep Cherokee lifted springs. And I've seen the adjustable spring mount for the jeeps, I'm not sure who makes it but I'm gonna somehow work that into the system.
I was curious. I have been wondering what I am going to do with my front end. I figured I would remove those bushings also and put on heim joints on the ends. Make the arms almost a foot longer too.
As for the springs, I have no suggestions. I do not know what would do what. I was considering just buying coil overs.
Coilovers would be nice but my monthly paycheck aint big enough for stuff like that. I say Cherokee springs cuz I can get my hands on a set for a pretty decent price and they work pretty good(soft).
Who here has been to Corral Canyon and would like to make a group run of it?
I'v been up there a few times and I always try this one trail that keeps kicking my ass...
Any ways I'd love to see some guys that actually know what the hell their doing so I can learn.

Thats OK, sounds like a great idea but unfortunately I wouldn't be able to come, I am moving out of the area and am a little sad about it, but life goes on. I would love to make a group run out there, I usually go with one other guy in a two wheel drive so I don't really get to test out all the trails that I would like to, and now I guess I never will. Good luck and have fun, its a great place to play around.
