@GloNDark What are those Bump Stops up front? Home made or vendor???

That's the plane Weld all together

This looks good and strong.

Mr. @1969 I decided to go your way and make a Shock hope for the rear. I only know that I don't want it to fail. :) I will push it a little I just that kind a guy 😅

I have this WildHorses$x4 shock mounts, and am just preparing to weld them on and thought I would ask.... Are this Rear Axle shock mount strong enough for Off road or Should I get stronger?

No. I am not there yet. I just wanted to know if I had space for the shock and the tower there. And according to your photo I have. Thank you very much (y) I will check out your Build thread and YouTube channel ;)

I have a pair of the MAX OUT Travel Shock Towers from Wild Horses and I am thinking might this work? Is it worth it to get this much more shock travel This is just a mockup. Body will be lifted more and the the wheel will sit a little more out. The wheel is now touching the bearing seat.

No, it would be the easiest. I had an idea to make a bracket and mount it under the two bolts.... Something like this... But on top may win

Is there any reason not to mount the Shocks on the Inside of the Long arms? The shock would be straight up and down and the Shock tower will have added support from the Coil spring bucket. Those are 1979 full width axles. Any negative effects I don't see. I am not known to be the smartest...

😅 Yes, I am in Iceland. I have lot's of history with Broncos. But never actually gone this way. I guess I did not think about caster and pinion angle back in the day's after about 30 years of pause from the Broncos I picked up a few here Now that the planet is almost as one shopping center...

Thank you @DirtDonk you are helpful as always. After thinking it through, I gain many things with lifting the body on. Shock tower location for one. So that will be the next step

Things are looking a lot better now after you advice. I got the frame in the correct Hight on timber blocks and installed the black 7° bushings. I liked the build of them better The engine is pretty level. Question is how much can I lower it in the back before it hits the body. To get better...

Feel free to hijack 😅 I am learning a lot from this thread, you all have been super helpful 🙏

Thank you all for the great advice. Things are looking much better after just lowering the front. I will use you advice @jamesroney But why do you talk about 6.5 + 3.5 = 10 inches long in to separate measures? Why not just 10 inches? I did take some additional photos of the C bushings They...

Sorry, I click the corners of uploaded photos and drag them to a clickable thumbnail. This is a 3.5 inch springs and yes, Duffs long arms. The Bronco is not fully assembled. And yes a high pinion D44 full width axles So @DirtDonk I might have been thinking this wrong. Under load the front...

No I don't. Looks close to zero. The spindles the could use a few degrees

Yes very worn stock bushings

I just lifted the engine/AOD and transfer case in this seems too steep. I used old rubber in between. Question will a 7° reversed C bushing tackle this? I've read that some do. And should I be worried about the upper pinion bearing?

Thank you, you saved me there :) (y)
