The Filly Build (79)

I am running the Cage arms up front and I am using the F-250 shock mounts. All I needed to do was drill one hole in them and I was able to mount them right up to the inner fender. They look factory and don't require the use of the conversion kit.

I am running 14" short body 7100's - this will allow me to rebuild the shock with whatever valving I need. I am at the same valving as you, but with the deaver springs. I am set up with ~5.5" of up travel and I will be adding the bilstein hydraulic bump stops to limit up travel.
 
Yes Mark they are for this Bronco, We followed the instructions and felt it was a tight fit on that side. I'm going to give their tech line a call and see what they recommend. A 1/4" ain't much but it's still cutting the frame and there certainly ain't a lot of room to get in there and do that.
Check your motor mounts - if they are good, you may be able to shim them just enough to give you the clearance you need.
 
I am going to pull my T case shifter when I put my carpet in. Then I can use the hole in the floor to guide me. I have a complete set of the high end ACC carpet sitting in the garage still in the boxes since two years ago!
