all of my stuff is starting to get here so i guess ill start a thread.
I am doing a SAS 4x4 converstion on my 95 ford explorer. phase 1 will be the SAS, once it is done ill start worrying about the transfer case/driveshafts.
I am using a dana 30 from a 95 cherokee. It already has the 4.10 gears to match my rear.
I will be using an EB suspension. I found a guy with an EB and i cut off all the suspension parts. here is what i am using:
radius arms, coil buckets (top) shock mounts, coil buckets (bottom)
4" radius arm drop brackets from 79 bronco
5" wildhorse coils
I am welding the axle wedges to the dana 30, They are made for a dana 44 which has an OD of 2.75" my dana 30 has an OD of 2.5" I will be building up the axle housing with 2.75od .12wall tubing.
I am going to tack the axle wedges on when it is under the truck and i set the caster/camber on the axle. this should be about 10 degrees slanted forward. with my 4" radius arm drop brackets. This cuases a problem of also pushing the spings forward but i finally found a solution for that. seirra broco makes shims for them.
check out the pic and you will see what i am talking about.

I am using stock 2 degree bushings since i am setting the axle wedges.
I have not figured out the steering or track bar yet, I am going to wait till I have the axle under the truck.
This set up should give me around 10" of lift.
I will get some pics of the bronco suspension parts ASAP. every thing was pretty rusty when i got them. took 2 days, 2 angle griders, 3 wire discs, and a bunch of cutoff wheels to get everything lookin good. everything is primed, ill pait it tommorrow.
