This version of my build is far more extensive and mapped out so I wanted to start a clean thread. The OG thread is more accessories and lifestyle

Love your build! Any issues with transmission pushing those 35's and new suspension parts? I want to do the same build as yours with Eibach but worried 35 and heavier parts will strain the manual transmission

The manual transmission comes with the 4.71 gearing, so it’s already set up for 35s.The Mickey’s are pretty heavy. I was more concerned with the steering and tie rods. Etc. So I made sure to install the supporting. modifications to reinforce those areas.

I have 24k mi. on the clock, well over a year on the lift, and I run it pretty hard. No issues to date. I’m more concerned about things like the increased wear from the angles on cv joints and driveshafts, so far so good. We’re all kind of guinea pigs at this point in the platform.

Eibachs themselve have been outstanding on and off-road and got better once they settled in.

Good luck with your build!

Haven’t really done much to the build the last year. Still happy with it as-built. Just been enjoying the Bronco and having fun at events, rides and traveling.
