| Starting the installation of the Wild Horses Stage 9 (3 1/2") lift. This is an excelent kit. All the parts were high quality and the instructions were easy to follow. There is a lot of welding to do though. I was a little rusty, but I picked it back up pretty quick. |
 |
| The rear end all assembled with dual RS 9000's. I chose to replace the original 9" with a Currie Dana 60. I figured I could use the extra strength, and it really didn't cost much more than it would for me to revamp the 9". I went with with 4.11's, an ARB air locker, 35 spline axels, and 11" disk brakes. |

| A good shot of the James Duff extended radius arms. Another product I am very pleased with. BEEFY is all I can say. These things are built tough. They attach to the frame with rod ends and a 1" bolt. Nice thing is they have the caster angle already built in for a 3 1/2" lift, so you can use the stock angle c-bushings. Installation was not difficult and everything seemed to line up easily. Only problem I ran in to was when I went to install the transfer case, but we'll get to that later. |
| The front all assembled. I retained the original Dana 44 with a tad bit of modification. 4.11's, ARB air locker, Warn lifetime axels, Warn premium hubs, and a disk brake conversion from James Duff. This is also a good shot of the Saginaw power steering box and brace. Part of the power steering conversion from James Duff. Both of these kits were also well made and easy to install. The biggest pain was grinding the brace to get a snug fit on the box. |
| Well here she is back on all fours. Fortunately the 68' Bronco I bought for the body, had a nice new set of 33" A/T radials on it. I don't care for the rims, but that can wait. The plan is to run the radials for daily driving. I will be picking up 35" Mickey Thomson Baja Claws for the trail. |
