i wasnt worried about the 8" on a 1/2 ton, skyjacker is a greta company, why would they make the kit if it wasnt safe.

i got the pair of Pro-comp rear springs used, but never driven on for $200,
used skyjacker front lift, also installed but never driven on for $53(ebay is great), came with new SS extended brake lines, sway bar drop brakcets, pitman arm, stabalizer bar and is just missing the coil springs and 1 radius arm bracket. So now i just need 8" front coil springs...$230, (6) shocks, and tires

One known problem with the bronco and fords in late 80s-mid 90s were the transmissions. but i dont have the stock unit anymore, i have a C6 which is one of the strongest ford trannys and itll be behind a rebuilt '84 351w. I know the 8.8 rear axle isnt bullet proof but i dont plan of launching it over rough terrain everyday, and if it breaks, ill replace it with a 9". I had an 82 bronco with a 6" lift and 40's and that was fun, but with a motor knock and body rot i sold it while i could.
