    Can you say flirting with disaster, ditch the lift blocks, 37s, tru trac, gears, and 6" lift, you're going to be breaking driveshaft yokes in the rear the first time you use 4 low and climb something. TTB, gears, 37s, and traction device= pop! Good luck!

    I had the same lift kit on an 85 f150 four-wheel drive. It rode and drove better with this kit on it than it did stock. I ran a set of 40s on it after also installing a 3 inch body lift. The truck had the 351 Windsor 4 speed 411 gears could have used some more gear I just never got around to it in the truck was stolen out of the parking lot of the apartments I lived in time. it was never recovered have no idea where it ended up.

    Lift kits like this are much of what gave TTB suspension such a bad reputation. Sure, this is the best kit their benefactors Superlift had but it's probably been sitting on a dusty shelf for 25 years. Desolate Motorsports and Solo Motorsports both make budget friendly coil bucket suspension systems that keep the ride height lower. Moving the beam pivots creates leverage that leads to failure. Nowadays shops modify the beams by cutting and turning the knuckle ends to correct camber while leaving the beams in their stock locations. For long travel, guys are extending the beams. There are also a couple shops(Hollander Motorsports, Ohhcho Fab) building fully fabricated beam and radius arm kits that utilize spherical bearings instead of bushings, as well as proper crossover steering kits. I'll admit much of that is well beyond what's being spent here but I think you guys ought to make an effort to show more than paleo-tech drop bracket kit installation and shine a light on where the desert guys have taken this platform. The technology and developmental effort being invested in broncos/F-150s nowadays would shock most of your casual audience.

    Pop had an '89 XLT 302/5spd I borrowed for a week. Should have bought it from him. He screwed up and let the title go before he got all the money when he did sell it. Hard to find one with a Manual Trans. Even harder when combined with a 351.
