Its a pretty simple swap, the most work is getting the ttb out, and home
modified steering and track bar linkage, or Bronco graveyard sells the swap
kit for a price. Just get everything from a 78-79 Ford high pinion axle,
coil buckets, shock towers, don't forget the arms. I bought a bushing set
for everything fairly cheap and since I installed 6 inch lifted coils I had
to buy 7 degree changed bushings for the arms. front drive shaft had to be
modified via my garage, and depending on ur brake set up I just rerouted
the lines. I also threw 513 gears in my axles along with a lunchbox locker
in the front. All in all with the lift components and swap I only spent
roughly 800$
I do have pics on my computer somewhere, I actually got most of my
information from full-size Bronco threads, good info on there for pretty
much everything u need. Just don't go bigger than 35 inch tires unless you
plan on upgrading from stock shafts. I actually snapped my drivers side
shaft on that trip. In the end I ended up swapping everything under that
Bronco including the engine into a bronco2, i ended up beating the green
machines body into a crinkled up beer can
This was a Dana44 solid axle swap. All custom fabrication and required an assortment of Chevy, crysler, and Toyota parts. Just buy a superlift or a body lift it will be all you need.
Very cool swap...My only concern is that the Dana 35 rear axle is
notoriously weak. Not really even worth their weight in scrap. Check out
some Jeep forums and you'll see what the general opinion is on them lol. It
won't last long with those 33s. I would look into a different axle for the
rear IMO. You'll end up saving time and money in the long run. Good luck
and great vids!
I'm the driver of the blazer and you are right the 35 doesn't hold up very well. The 35 in the blazer is from a wj witch is a touch stronger than the other still nothing at all to brag about. When it breaks (and it will) a nine inch with redrilled
