Aligned properly is the key. The beams on that late bronco (and any 80-up Ford except some HD kingpin beams) are completely different then the 65-79 beams. The 80-up can use camber bushings, 79-down have fixed camber. so you NEED drop beams, NEED to bend the beams or deal with bad alignment from just using springs.

Correct that is why I am asking if anyone has used the LMC springs,I have used other brands on my 67,68 and my sons 71(all with dream beams) all worked great,but I have never payed under $100.00 for them,I just dont want to waste money if they are junk,I have also ran a couple of my truck with just lowereing springs for a while while waiting to afford dropped I beams,both worked great for me.Being an ex shop foreman for a Ford dealership I have alot of friends that are capable of quality alignments,and I am very familiar of Fords designs over the years,but thanks again for your input.

I don't think anyone here has used the springs from lmc as i have never seen they offered there before but seeing the crappo trim they sell and the crappo fenders they sell, i'd say i won't buy any major part from them such as said lowing coil springs.
