What year bronco? Been kicking around this idea myself. Along with setting up a 4 link setup to get rid of the torque arm and make it all adjustable.

why get rid of the torque arm? thats what makes these cars so handling and hook friendly. a 4 link is NOT better. and wont quite fit. there is a company selling a ladder bar conversion wasnt too bad on price But again WHY!?

Not a full on 4 link. A short arm one like this: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/gears-...8-8-build.html
So yeah, like a ladder bar.

Basically for simplicity and budget sake. If I do that I don't need to worry about a torque arm mount on a different rear, and, it frees up all sorts of space to run true duals if I decide to go that route.

Not set in stone, just kicking around some ideas.

yeah man i dunno seems nice to get rid of the torque arm BUT it will not hold the tires down as well and will make more noise. just saying

i would defenatly go with a bolt in sub frame connector and weld it in if i was to do that its nice to have the LCAs push strait on the sub frame connectors.

I was going to do my own 9" but found my complete moser for cheap. 4 links require having to cut the floors on thirdgens I know that.

And I need SFC's :(
