Well I'm sure some are curious about my thoughts on this. Put simple Noah didna good job about explaining how Old Man EMU does thier stuff in general. Not many people understand it.

On the wheel and tire choice, I cant say that I would go with 37 inch tires even with the wheeling unless you plan to make it a weekend worrior toy. Even though big tires make for nice clearance on all 4, availability and price will get you. As for the wheels, I like the look but would have stuck with either the factory wheels or an option from Ford.

On to the suspension. Again Noah did. Good job with explaining. Fornthe look after the install I could tell it helped it overall. If anything I would have considered the medium load springs for the rear. Why? Simple, if it were to ever do any kind of towing hou can still put stuff in the back and not have to worry about squatting.

Down to the bonus footage at the end. I have to say I was not impressed with the little travel the Bronco showed. I suspect it was with the sway bar connected and I feel the 37 inch tires were too big for it. If it flexed any more the tires would possibly detroy the fender well.

With all that said I'm still curious as to what information @Stage3Motorsports can give on this.
