I went with coils on my 87 D60 in my 78 Bronco. Leaves would be easier on yours, and they work well

I didn't use stock type radius arms. I used a 3-link set-up with rod ends. you cant fit the radius arm wedges on the short tube side very easily.

The Project is Officially on hold until I get to Minnesota....
Picked this Bronco up today for $400, runs stops, yadayada....

I'll just put my Body on it, drive it to Minnesota, do the rest there...

PS I did this because 1 Im running outa time, and 2, my frame was actually bent in pretty bad where the radius arms bolted up, I just noticed this....

Anyone want this body? Free, you come and get it, Mount Vernon, Wa..Its coming of today :D

Is this ram just hooked to the stock "high steer" arm that came on the D60 drivers side. This is what I want to do with mine. GM tie rod setup with the ram hooked to the passenger king pin.

Looks good
