Solid Axle Swapped 1996 OBS Full-Size Ford Bronco. D44 Axle James Duff Long Arms! Bye Bye TTB!

We helped Mike do a solid axle swap on his 96 Full size Bronco at my pole barn where all the magic happens... Mike only would of had his driveway to work on this swap, so I offered to help him, along with Brad, John, and Johnny. Everything was pretty smooth except for the "surprise" we found when the James Duff long arm radius arm brackets wanted to mount in the same location as the factory transmission crossmember.. So if you have a E40D transmission and wanted to do this swap with Duff parts.... you'll need to come up with a crossmember... I didn't see any way we could have modified the stock one and kept it strong enough. Always do your research.... Duff's instructions are terrible, and lack of information would definitely be rough on someone who was planning to just bolt this on....without any fabrication tools or background you could be in a mess...
