mud riding

[bdrake1]

do any of you you use your bronco to ride in the mud.i know alot of hardcore 4x4 guys who run 21/2 ton axles and such and i dont think my bronco with 35s can ride with them very well.can you run 38 with stock axles.and how hard is a dana 60 swap

my pick-up has 44's and a 500hp motor with 1/2 ton axles.the rear has been upgraded to 35 spline mosers though.i ran 40's on the truck with everything bone stock daily driver with no problems.the eb is alot lighter so i wouldnt see a problem as long as you didnt do hardcore rock crawlin or put a super-high hp motor in.

Hmmm, how serious of mud are we talking? I think a Bronco with your set-up would be decent, but wouldn't be able to drive through a swamp liek the guys in Florida do. Heres what to do...try! and if somethign breaks then you upgrade!

what gear ratio do you run?

 

[bdrake1]

can you run 38 stock.the guy i bought it from said he had 38s on it.and what gear ratio should i run.i thought about putting in gears and a locker at the same time

for 38's i would go with at least 4;56 but 5;13 would be better.

I used to run my last Bronco in nothing but mud. We ran them hard too. I ran stock axles but upgrade gears. I ran 44s on it and never had any problems until I shattered the ring and pinion. The axles never gave out.
