Our 1973 Bronco project is moving along and we almost have the frame stripped. We are planning on uncut, stock looking EB with a 2.5" SL and possibly 1" BL if needed for engine clearance under the hood and 31x10.5R15LT or 32x11.5R15LT tires. We have some frame rust repair to do including areas around rear shock mounts and about 20" of rear lower frame on each side. Any other rust areas we need to look for that are common? Anyway, we are considering moving the rear axle back 1" to better match the uncut rear venders and hopefully better handling. Plan on using this EB for a daily driver, road trips with occasional fire road and trail use.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of moving the rear axle back? Clearance issues?![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
