i have a 67 bronco that i would like to convert to coil over, I am wondering if it will be a straight swap from coil springs to coilover. I know ill need new shocks hoops, break line radius arms, and all that stuff. But will there be more then that is need. I want get atleast 4 inches of life and 15-17 inches of travel.

Cause it seems like a easy swap cause ill just be changeing the coil and radius arms

What are you currently running? I'm running a full stage 2 front from Duff and I'm really pleased with it. I think it would be alot easier than what you are proposing.

right now it is all stock, and my front spring is cracked cause of its age. I would perfere to go coilover cause i all ready have a pair of 2" fox coilovers that i never used on my rail project.

If I were you I would use the coilovers in the rear to get rid of the rear leafs and then bob the bed. Then use some good aftermarket system in front.

Clay were have you been man i haven't heared from you in some time. You missed a good memorial day trip at Disney. I finally found out that those sammy toothpick axles just won't hold up. hopefully my 3/4 ton sammy project will get of the ground soon. I have almost all the parts but steel prices are killing my budget.

Email me some time we will have to get together and go wheelin.

PS they went up the small waterfall with a stock ruby. Bring the wifes rig and we can try it.
