As much as we believe in our own products and think they are great, customers pictures and testimonies are far more compelling. We encourage y'all that are using this product to share your install tech and/or pictures here.

Anyone have a chance to install these lately? Did it help the Bronco handle better on the road? How was the install process?

I installed those on my 74 and they work great for what I use my bronco for. Tracks great and the adjustability is nice, you do have to watch out, that you don't go to far where your drive line starts to bind. I did all the installation my self, I all ready had my side tank out so that helped, I used a grinder to cut off the old brackets, but had someone else weld them for me.;D

Duff drop bracket

I installed the drop brackets and am very pleased with them. I have the nv3550 5spd transmission so my brackets had to be modified to work. Not sure how to post a pic.

Old post, but I have to comment...

I am interested in these as I just placed an order on some DUFF suspension parts and will more than likely be in the market for an upgrade to the Radius arms at some point.

I have experience with the Duff long arms, both with their RBV line and with their SAS version which is real close what the Bronco will use. The reason I bring up the Radius Arms is because the cost of these Drop Brackets is a 3rd of what you'd pay for the Radius Arms. At that price are these brackets really that beneficial in comparison to what you get out of the Radius arms? Obviously the answer NO when you compare them side by side, but when compared cost for cost.

These Brackets look to be top notch and I can think of a lot I can do with the difference in the cost of the Radius arms if I can achieve close to the same results in drive-ability. Unlike my other builds, I need my Bronco street worthy more than trail worthy.

Thoughts on these when compared to replacing the entire radius arm?

Thanks in advance.
