Ok,
A few years ago, I got the bug to do a 12'' lift / SAS on my '90 bronco and bought the Fabritech kit. At that time it was the only kit I could find. Now it seems there are a few more options out there, maybe not all from one vendor, but each component seems to have at least a couple reputable vendors that you could assemble pretty much a bolt on kit yourself.
Now, the steering sucks, the brushings are cracked, stuffs coming loose...needless to say im dissapointed.
Im now building my bronco into something with more function (daily driver/mild off roading). my idea is to lower the lift to 6'', run 35s, and convert to 1 tons (D60/10.25). I know the axles are overkill, but it was cheaper than regearing the existing D44 and 9''.
So obviously the whole radius arm and bracket crap that is on there is going to be a problem, and I want a new steering set up.
So heres my question, given what Im wanting the car to do, and the problems I have with the kit...What would you reccommend for fixing this nightmare?
I like the Cage off road raduis arms, and ORU (expensive) and Stonecrusher offer complete steering setups. If I repalce my Fabritech radius arms and steering with these, can i keep the rest (pretty much coils and mounts from what I can tell).
My goal is to have something quality, reliable, and street functional (I have no welding/fab skills). Ill get some pics up for reference but in the mean time go for it. Thanks for the help!!!
