Default Early bronco scale

Does anyone have any suggestions for my 73 bronco build up? What shocks should I use, etc. I am doing a tlt, r2 tranny. Any help appreciated.

May I suggest a chassis? I would go with a BB51, I say this because I have scene someone not to long ago do one up just like an EB. Leaf in the rears and coil springs up front and it looked awesome. As for shocks, how bout some turned down tlt shocks or high lift shocks?

Take a look around the forum, I am sure youll get a lot of good ideas

BTW welcome to RCC

x2 on the BB-51. I've got three of 'em, if you count the OG. And they're all my favorite

HAHA Adam has got you in the right direction. If you go with jugg springs you may want to take a leaf out of 2, the do this scale tricks thread
