Way too long of a list of what is currently wrong with the bronco to write down but somehow i was able to limp (at 5mph and under) 3 blocks to a shipping yard. the truck was lunging forward and tons of lights were blinking but i needed to flex it. i got there and asked the guys loading the containers if i could drive up the ramp. they said, "sure, but why would you want to do that?".. I told them i was gonna check to see if anything was binding with the suspension.. Anyhoo.. i got back in and drove it up till i was on the flat area. couldnt go any higher so i stopped before i hit the small container. snapped my pics and limped it back home. found one problem caused by the flex that ill need to fix and figured out how im going to route the hydraulic lines..

here are the pics.. a bunch of them.. way too many pics.. every damn angle. since i havent posted pics in a while. Ill try to find something higher after i get everything thats wrong fixed.. maybe even a rock.. wouldnt that be neat :cry

it was pretty stable. didnt lean much like before..

Front suspension articulate great!! I take it you didn't try backing up the ramp? Will the rear do much more?

when i got back in the truck all the lights in the dash were flashing so i just limped it back home.. i doubt the rear will work that well.

holy crap that looks top heavy...

What's funny is even with the 11" lift and 38's he was able to get WAAAAAY OFF CAMBER and in some crazy twists and rockpiles and that thing never rolled.. I don't think Broncos are as top-heavy as we think.. The tub doesn't really weigh much, but the engine, tranny, and frame sure does! Most of the weight is down low.

I really like the ride height now, and the flex is absolutely incredible! What a tough damn truck.. Looking awesome!
