Need footnotes or list of complications for installing a 3" body lift on '78 FS

You might check out the link to "Miesk5's Homepage" in the How-To & Tech Articels forum. It's on the first page, about 10-12 topics from the top. Anything connected to the body or frame will have to be modified including;

radiator fan shroud

transmission and t-cas shifter linkage

front and rear bumper mounts

steering shaft

My 79 F-150 still has a 3" body lift on it, while the one on the 78 Bronco was removed by the P.O. The worst problem is the wear on the rag joint in the steering shaft, as a body lift places more stress on that part. Ther is no kit available to re-locate the front bumper, but I did make some bumper brackets out of 3" channel iron for the 79 so the bumper matches with the body, JSM84

i looked and didn't find anything. also i will have to do alot of modifying any ways because the kit is for the 87-91 models.
