Tinkering with the Bronco, and decided to see the "Flex" it doesnt have... This is as far as I got before it was completely tucked in, 2.5 susp lift, 1 boly lift

Take your shocks off and try it again. I'm willing to bet there's some more flex in it... Most off the shelf shocks just don't have the travel to allow good flex.

What do you recommen for shocks then? I am looking at Bilsteins for my EB. Also thinking about doing the F250 shock mounts. I d not plan to wheel mine hard but want to know that it can twist without tearing my sheet metal out.

Assuming none of the shocks bottomed, it looks like you need stiffer rear springs and softer fronts (at the same ride height). Adding a rear sway bar AND some weight to the truck would be an easy way to accomplish the same thing.
