Gregg's Suspension Lift Install
I'm sorry this thread is posted so late. Either way I would like to thank the following people for coming up to Longmont for this 3 day installation: Mike, Phil, Jeff, and Matt. Its very clear that without their help I wouldn't have a lift. They brought tools, skills, and extra parts (driveshafts, drop pitman arm) to get me going without waiting to get them in the mail. I had a great time watching, wrenching, learning and laughing. I was also fortunate enough to be able to test this on the MWFR. I thought the new rear and suspension worked out great. Much better than the driver. I'm very excited to get this out again. I posted some pics on the link below. Thanks again for everyone that pitched in. Day 1: Was finishing the rear (axles, seals, drums, e-brake cables) and installing the rear leaf springs and starting the front Day 2: was continuing the front suspension and brake lines Day 3: was connecting the steering Hang-ups: Rear tank needed to be moved back to clear the diff, Brake line connections needed adapters at the H block, Me backing my rig into the garage w/o brakes and almost over Matt, and Mike's pissy attitude. http://s1170.photobucket.com/albums/r52 ... on%20Lift/

Re: Gregg's Suspension Lift Install
Just curious, but why does the rear tank need to be moved? I've installed a few different mfg. lifts and never had to do that

Real nice stance with the new lift and tires. Great looking Bronco.

As always, I am glad I could help out! BTW, nice ass crack shot, I'm concerned it's going to turn into an avatar.
