Wanted to post some new pics of some progress. I just finished tying the cage to the frame and to the sliders, I built the sliders a couple months a go. I used 1 5/8 chromoly and 4ft angle to tie it to the cut rocker. The angle also acts as support for the fender. I wanted to do something tubular and keep as much ground clearance as possible- I'm happy with how they came out, I finished the cage also but need to take some better pics with the top off. The regular sized pics are in my gallery.

Thanks! If there is some interest out there I may be willing to make them. Please give me feedback.

I designed them so they can work with any body lift and all you have to do is cut your rockers off and leave 1 1/2 inches. I will be adding tube clamps so they are fully removable to be repaired or painted when needed.

Nice :cool:

Did you tie them into the roll cage?

Yes. If you look close you can see the tubes coming down from the floor. Its a little hard to see from those pics- take a look in my gallery to see it a little better.

Looks great and I sure it's fully functional. I'm sure you could sell a few of those!

I like the looks of those, pretty sharp. The downfall for me - I don't wanna cut mine, I wanna keep the front tank. If you had a design that came out under stock rockers, I would be interested. Looks great on yours, nice Bronco.

They look awesome, but I am more interested in your rear suspension. Can you tell us about it??

I used the poly performance rear 4link kit and a universal truss, stuck front upper coil mounts and lower buckets- I made a mounting plate to bolt them down, 3 1/2 superflex (deaver) front coils and rs9000 shocks. Its rides great and flexes even better. I also moved the axle back 3 inches. Let me know if there are any other questions
