It's a HP D44 out of a 79 Bronco narrowed 6". What it has...
4340 Chromo shafts/ Warn premiums/ ARB as soon as it's drivable.
Steering is made up of 1.25 DOM with 3/4 heims on all ends

I used Wild horses 5.5 RC coils W/ BBP coil buckets/shock mount. They look SIC!!!!!


I retained the 8.8 because it already has Dutchman shafts and an ARB, i think im going to get the Super 8.8 kit for it though. right now i am running spacers in the rear to get the right lug pattern, and i like the width they gave me. the Super 8.8 is supposed to give you extra width without using scary spacers, and eliminating the c-clips.

I did move the axle forward about 2", you almost have to move it forward to make it all fit right. Im currently using stock Bronco radius arms in Sky Jacker brackets with degreed bushings, but will probably heim them before to long. It depends on how they flex. I am thinking about wristing the passenger arm as well, but we will see.

Looking good. Sounds like it's got all the right stuff. Can't wait to get out and wheel with you

I had to LOL at your saying 3-4 days was a long time... Mine took 6 months, Hammer's took over a year, and Michael was lucky to get his done in "only" 6 weeks.

Sure saves a ton of time when you can do it yourself

But i've spent most of that time gathering parts and finding deals

 

[daddy_ja]

Well i spent about 10 months gathering everything. i was just talking about the actual install.
