My nieces did a little Christmas art on my truck this morning before they headed off to their mom's side of the family.

Have not got much done other than spring swap and finally installed some new rims and tires this month. Had been running on the 285's until they needed replacement. Looked kind of funny with the X/B swap that also has add a leafs. Here are after spring swap and then with the new rims and tires. Also removed the lights from roof rack because I am going to redo rack and would like to run a led light bar. I did install a 40" curved led light bar on the bumper to go along with the 20" led in between tow hooks of bumper.

Beast of burden

Here is my '79 Bronco. 351 m, 4 speed, Dana 60 rear with 4:10 gears from a '76 highboy, rear lift is via shackle flip, front has 4:10 gears, the same '76 donated its 8 lug outer. Front lift is Craigslist coils. Shocks are JBG all the way around. Front bumper is 2x4 tube steel. I made a high lift jack mount on the front. The rear is heavy wall 3x5 tube steel. Tires are old worn Yokohama 238 85 r16. Future plans are to build a tire and gas carrier on the rear.

PMF use a solid connection on both ends, meaning they don't compensate for the non-radial movement of the axle during the leaf's compression or extension. They do offer a linkage design, but I would not use that type (been there done that with another brand, but same design).

OUO uses poly bushings on the forward end to deal with the change of distance during suspension movement.

I haven't talked to anyone who has used or know's someone who has used the Recoil bars. I wouldn't look anywhere but OUO
