The quality of those stands reflect the job you will do . Keep us posted. What's the plan?

Thanks Mike! I didn't want to crawl under it with just jack stands under the frame. The stand made the most sense.

Sounds good John. I will text you in a few because I might be able to work on it this weekend. I spent a lot of time out of the house the last few days so I need to suck up for awhile ;D

Good times! While beating on the radius arm frame brackets my frame ripped where the weld was. There must be 10 lbs of dirt inside my frame :-[



Still not sure how I'm going to remove the coil buckets and shock towers. The welds on the back look impossible to get to.



Good news is my track bar bracket that Migs built is perfect

Nice, looking good!
glad to see the bracket fits well. hopefully it will give you enough adjustment to get the angles just right.

when I removed my front shock towers I was in the same situation, body on and engine in place. I cut the bottom weld then alternated hitting the top and bottom with a big hammer to "wiggle" the mount in and out slowly weakening the weld behind until it snapped. might work for the coil bucket too?
be careful though if you value your fender wells, easy to dent them that way. maybe something placed behind the shock tower to absorb some of the abuse.

Nice stand too! ...great minds think alike, right?

(now get some casters mounted under it so it's mobile!);D

... & Since I did not read 26 pages of post is the question answered in those post .

I moved my rear axle to the rear 1 inch and I'm thinking about moving my front axle forward about an inch. Rear was easy so I'm hoping the front will be the same.

I'm sure the bracket will have enough adjustment. I should know soon. I will give you method a try as that's how I removed the radius arm brackets.

Casters would have been a great idea. Might do that when I use it on the rear.

I saw your axles for sale, what's the plan to replace them? I must have missed reading it.

I have a few ideas, but nothing is set at the moment. I will update this thread when a decision is made. Thanks for checking in

And I'm putting a tractor motor in it

 

[badmuttstang]

Cool but those tractor tires are going to look real funny under a slamed uncut Bronco your going to have a lot of tread inside the cab.
Honestly can't wait to see where your going even though I have a feeling I know.
