thanks! its the fullwidth stuff from the full size bonco 78/79. also can get the full width stuff from the 70's trucks. but you got a jeep! they make bolt in 44/60s and its a bit pricey but less fab work!
Lot of guys do an 8.8 in the rear from explorers, but I'd like to run at least 35's. I figure a 44/9" would work for that, probably hold up to 37's too. We'll have to see. I don't know my head from my ass when it comes to wrenching and fabbing, but that's what 30 packs and friends are for

Nice bronco man! I miss my truck a ton as well, but selling it enabled me to put a down payment on a house, so all is good.

Is it true that you have to lift the cab off the PSD's in order to do major work to the engines? That's crazy
This is true. I'm installing head studs and new HG's right now as well as a few more go fast goodies.
The record for fuel only and stock turbo's for thr 6.4L PSD is 610 rwhp. I'm shooting to beat that number shortly.
hope your replace sll the cab bolts an streeing shaft bolts there one time use only

6.4 you have to remove the cabs on the 6.0 you don't have to its just easy to work on the 6.0 with out the cab on.when the 6.0 first came out ford would not let you take the cabs off under warranty,

If thats your house behind it, it looks like a fair trade. Your trucks sick bro, what are those 44's?

its easier to pull the cabs off to remove the heads. its a must if you have studs [ November 24, 2009, 03:06 PM: Message edited by: blown95svt ]
