Wow, I forgot what a pain in the ass it is to change out the rear shock bushings, particularly the top ones with that rod in it.

I don't know, this truck could probably lay over on it's side pulling into the driveway, especially with me driving it.

Yeah, but you probably had those stiff Explorer (SkyJacker/Superlift?) coils on there. These Early Bronco springs are soft.

TTB are scary lifted even with a sway bar.. yeah I got your back.. they are good going in a "forward" line but when you turn that is when the wheels have a mind of their own.
