Bc Broncos 9 Pack leafs experience/opinions?=!Installed!

[Landho]

My front springs bow out, too... anxiously awaiting someone to comment if this is okay or needs to be addressed.

I have the entire front-end out right now, would be a good time to resolve if necessary.

From what I understand, the bowing is not a problem. Mine did that two when I first installed my lift two years ago. So far no problems.

78Scronco, I'm sure you know this, but you would benefit alot by adding a riser track bar bracket, it will center the axle, which in current form is pulled to the driver side and also will stop that annoying bump steer which is caused by the track bar and the drag link not being on the same angle.

i'm trying to decide which 3.5" lift to go with so i can't wait to see some final pics and comments. what size tire do you plan on running with the 3.5" +1" bodylift?

Yeha, I'm going to try just going with an adjustable trac bar. Hopeing that will be enough. It will at least get the axle centered. I think the angles will be close. I don't reall ylike thr dop brackets and risers, too much stress on the frame side, trying to avoid if at all possible.

That's 33's on there now, but I'm getting 36 tsl's I'm going to try to run.


Also it shouldn't have that spring lean. Many people have it and run with it, and mine is pretty even so that is good, but either way it shouldn't be there. So I am either going to get new spring cup sets and or maybe even put a block under the cup for now to even it out.
My big bronco doesn't have that lean at all after I replaced the old cups.

There is no additional stress on the frame with an axle riser. The stress on the frame comes from the greater leverage that a drop track bar bracket provides. By raising the track bar at the axle you dont have that problem...plus it gives you room for a TRO setup.... Come on, you know you want one. This thing has even begun to snowball....

and really the axle riser WILL help with the ride alot...friends dont let friends drive with bumpsteer.

I x2 that, hurry up and drive it, i wanna hear it has stable street manners, handles driving down forest service log roads with potholes, ruts,dips, washouts,bumps, deep snow like a dream! Just kidding, take your time and get it right!

I was under the perception that you need both the riser AND drop bracket, OR the adjustable trac bar?
I have th TRO setup now!

I will get some driving in this weekend, and trails the following weekend!

 

[OsideDave]

Correct me if I am wrong. My impression is that you need either a riser OR a drop bracket to help center axle and correct bump steer. With that said, I already had an adjustable trac bar so I used it on my BCB 3.5 lift to center axle. Bump steer didn't seem to be a factor but perhaps a riser would make it better.

 

[78Scronco]

I originally thought you needed one or the other as well, but in my research on the board I was understanding it that you should have both(riser and Drop brackets), OR neither and an adjustable trac bar. Unless I misunderstood.

 

[chuck]

When you add a track bar raise or lower bracket(not both) you also need to go tierod over or drop pitman arm (not both).
