WCB 6'' extended Radius Arm Installation

[mnido]

Just ordered my West Coast Bronco 6'' extended radius arms. Any installtions tips would appreciated. Body is off the frame. Thanks

come on, I know someone out there has done this...just tips all I need. Thanks!!

My tip....have them installed at West Coast Broncos. Sorry, I know it may not be reasonable location wise, that's just what I did.

Another free tip....buy low, sell high ;D

Just measure 6 inches back from the mounting surface of the previous mounts. For reference, use the hole for the stud of the old arm and the center of the bolt hole for the new mount. Tack'em and measure to ensure it's square.

i wish i had moved mine forward an inch. i have a 1/2" gap between the stock arm mounts and the front of the new arm mounts, i wish i had put them right against the old mounts. that 1/2" would have been real nice. their heims don't have a lot of thread on them, i'm considering going johnny joints because they have more threaded shaft and i could move my axle forward a bit.

So what your saying is butt the new mount up to the back edge of the old mount. You did take off the old mount, right??

No no no no no no and NO!!!

Call WCB they have instructions ...then buy about 3 or four 4" cut-off wheels, a grinding wheel, a pair of 60 &120 grit flap wheels and remove the old mounts. You spent the money for the arms don't just donkey-Dick install them. The shock mounts are arguably in the wrong position but that's another topic. BTW, yes I have installed the WCB arms.

I plan on using their instructions. Like I said in my post "just tips". I don't donkey dick install anything..

How is that NP 435 I sold you working out ? Where are you located now ?

NP435 has been a dream! I never did a thing to it, just installed it. Even tossed a gear banger on it last year and it's great! bronco is in Hawaii with Wife and baby, I'll be back there soon. Then I'll be moving to Lawton Oklahoma in the summer for an instructor job at the Marine Corps Artillery school. Looks like your bronco has been really taking off lately.
