i just seen 7700's post yes you can use the TTB drop brackets. but they still have to be moved. and also I forgot to mention you have to modify the body mount too here are some pics of my 91.
6" lift, stock factory radius arms
the last pick is of the 84's stock location compared to the relocated ones on the 91

and yes it has the 92+ front clip, and also the axle is sitting funny because of the lack of C-bushings. on the radius arms.

Ya I should have mentioned you have to move the radius drop brackets. I assumed everyone would know the solid 44s radius arms are a different length.

saving it for my next project. going to strip the axles and the trans, out of it and do a bronco2 build with them, the engine is long gone and the title has problems.

the rest of the body is just replacement parts for my red one. as needed.

When rebuilding the axle should I just stick with OEM parts or upgrade some?

Chromalloy axle shafts will be some nice added insurance. Especially if you up tire size sometime and hit something hard offroad. But I wouldn't do it unless you have the extra coin laying around
