looks good man! i like the full widths...
 
damn that bitch is wide, what the backspacing on those wheels?
 
damn i am jealous
 
Thanks!
Rims are 15x10 with 3.5" Backspacing . Think I want some 15x8 for my mud tires and keep these for some all terrains, for when I go to the beach or long hauls. These are the only set of tires I have right now
 
How much wider is the ford 9" compared to the 35 or other jeep axles? I am thinking of running a 9 but I am not sure if it will pass inspection here in Utah. I have Bushwackers but still yours looks pretty wide.
 
I am doing a full width on mine right now. Got any pics of you steering set up?
 
pecsxj: F150 and FS Bronco Axles are about 6" wider than stock. Early Bronco Axles are about the same width as stock

Dakota: I'll get some better pics of the steering tomorrow, you can kind of see it in the 3rd pic. 3/4 Heim Joints 1.5"x0.25 wall DOM Tubing with weld in bungs. You have to drill the knucles and pitman arm 3/4 for the bolts. I used grade 9 bolts and made my own spacers. I modeled mine after Bullet Proof Steering.com. They have good info on their web site, Or you could just measure and order from them. I figured I saved about $150 by doing it myself.
