Figured it might be time to bump the thread.
Picked up my Big Bend right at the end of last year. Got a pretty good deal on a Big Bend Sasquatch, and snatched it up. Its got the 2.3 and pretty much zero options, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Absolutely love how simple it is. I came from an Explorer ST that had nothing but problems, and ended up going through a buyback. Decided getting a base model would be the way to go in the future.
After owning it for a few months, I ended up putting on some wheels that I designed for Venom Rex (now I think they're under the Vorsteiner Off-Road name). The stock tires were brand new, so I decided to rock with them until they were ready to be replaced. Once the time comes, I'll be swapping over to 37's.
Not pictured here were some interior mods. I installed a full JL Audio stereo (6.5's in the front kick, 6.5's in rear Mabbet pods, 4" in the dash, with a 12w3, and amps for it all.) I tinted the windows, and then just decided to drive it for a bit and enjoy it.
Then I got bored, and decided to whip up a leveling kit for it. Being that the spacers are so simple, it was super easy to design, and machined it in my shop. Made a few different spacer thicknesses, but if my math is correct, it was about 1 1/8" lift in the front. I goofed and forgot to measure before installing everything, but it looks better, and that's all I really cared about.
Before the lift:
After the lift:
And that's where I'm at now. Currently starting the planning for the next steps, but right now I am in the process of designing my own billet trailing arms, as wall as a billet panhard bar. I'll be using FK Uniballs, and machining them from 6061 aluminum. I would like to swap the front to a long travel kit from Wicked Creations, but still debating if I want to open that can of worms or not. I always wanted to keep this a simple build.
Anyways, just wanted to share my progress in the thread for obviously the best color choice for the Bronco. And no, its not debatable.

Props on the homemade spacers. I bought a 2" front level kit consisting of two upper spacers and one lower spacer, similar to your kit. I'm going to try putting one of the upper spacers on the rear axle. So a 1/2" or so lift in back, and around 1 1/4" lift in front.Figured it might be time to bump the thread.

I too must have missed this post. Is my 23 WT LUX cool enough for this club? I hope so. I went to a local hobby shop and purchased all thier Race Red model paint to create this epic paint job. My wrist hurts....
Your Bronco is definitely cool enough! Love the paint job. Thanks for sharing.
