I have a spartan lunchbox in the rear of my YJ (ford 8.8 swap), and a Yukon air in the front (original d30), and that setup is flawless. Have Yukon air in the front of my FSB as well, but Yukon, for whatever reason, wont make an 8.8 version, and it's a posi, so no lunchbox for that one. ARB makes one, but I keep balking at the price! I can say that I am 100% happy w/the spartan lunchbox tho, at least in 8.8 form...haven't tried others.
I should have caveated the lunchbox with D30's & big tires. Some might even add an extra helping of skinny pedal. That rarely goes over well ;) And in a D35 that is a fool's errand. But to me the springs always seemed small in them to go down that path.

That amount of travel will have to do when I take mine out to the woods. My Jeep would have had all 4 touching the ground. . . I'll get used to it.

Right...I didn't want to say that in the OP, but it's clear that Bronco's articulation is none too impressive. Please don't throw a chair at me when I say it's simply impossible to match Jeep's articulation w/IFS. That said, riding over those ramps felt very smooth, and it's clear that Ford made lockers easily accessible, and standard on "Jeep fighter" models, because Bronco will rely heavily on lockers to pull through exactly those type of obstacles.

Personally I feel videos of the stabilizer disconnect is just a gimmick. You should already have it disconnected, kind of like locking in your hubs before hand. The commercials that use to advertise auto vs manual locking hubs with some poor sods muddy jeans :sneaky:
Kinda like when you are watching a movie and they don't cock their rifles until they are face to face with the enemy.

They do that so you they are serious. It's even better when they do it multiple times :p
