coil bucket - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I have a '95 Bronco. I want to seperate the coil bucket from the shock mount since they are one piece. I want to do this so I can run a much longer shock. I thought of using buckets out of later model Bronco/F150s but I believe the spings are different and would not mount right. Has anyone do this or maybe made their own?

Get the buckets from a 70's model F150 or bronco. Just make sure you mount them in the right spot vertically on the frame to retain the correct height.

That will allow more room for doing shocks.

yup, buckets from a 70's f100, or a 78/79 bronco, and shock towers from an 88 f350 4x4. get the towers from ford, they are like $11 each.
