Best way to lift a Bronco?

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

Need some input fellas.

Im going to be lifting a 94 bronco soon, but im not sure what the best way to do it is. I need to be able to fit 35"s without rubbing, while keeping it low cost.

I figure since its not going to be so much a wheeler, that 2" blocks out back and 2" coil spacers up front should do the trick/ be the best alternative to achieve this goal.

Anyone got any input?

Also, do we think the same shocks will be able to make up the difference? or will a new set be needed?

New platform... Newb once more.

Ps, get/make drop brackets


Oh and why not get a small body lift also?

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

body lift was the original way we were gonna go. so that might be the way it goes down.

thought about flipping the shackles in the rear, but dont want this to get too in depth with fab work. not sure what it will entail tho.

Shackle flip in the rear is nice, effective and cheaap, then you'd jut have to handle the ~4" of lift up front

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

hmmm. thats a lot o lift.

for the rear shackle flip you torch the rivets out from the stock hanger flip it bolt it back in place. You will be left with 2 holes with out something to mount to. For that you weld a piece on the frame and bolt it to the hanger. Bam youre done, guys do it in about 30 minutes a side. for the front 2" daystar spacers http://www.jackit.com/springs/coil_spacers.htm May need to trim the bumper a little

shackle flip in the rear is on 2.5 to 3" of lift

how low is low cost?
rough country 2.5 inch kit with shocks is about 400

"now, this is by no means the be-all, end-all bible for bronco tire fitment. there are all sorts of variables that come into play. This post is being created in order to cut down on the repetitive questions of what size tires can i fit with X amount of lift.


31" tires: these generally come on the truck stock. no fitment issues, no rubbing


33" tires: these WILL fit with no lift. the fit will be a touch snug, but you can either trim the edges of the bumper, or use washers as shims at the bumper mount. you can run a 3" body lift if you like to clear these tires, but its not necesary. slight rub will be encountered on the radius arms,depending on the dimensions of the rims

35" tires: these will fit with a 3" body lift at bare minimum, but its not advised for wheeling. large amounts of contact will be seen between body and tires. 4" suspension lift will provide better clearance, with a 6" suspension lift providing the optimal clearance while mainting a good center of gravity

38" tires: these can be run with 6" of lift and healthy amounts of fender trimming. its better to run around 8" of lift in order sufficiently clear these tires. once you get up into this size tire, you will be seriously taxing your stock running gear and drivetrain. a built up solid Dana 44 and rear 9" can handle this setup OK. adding a stonger rear, such as a Dana 60, is a safer option. depending on your typical wheeling enviroment, a swap to one ton running gear may be necesary to minimize breakage. for more information on this, refer to the Fullsizebronco.com message board, SAS forum.

anything bigger than 38" is going to be totally custom, and you really should upgrade to one ton stuff

They say for up to 2 inches you may be able to adjust the alignment to correct the camber if you just used spacers but i wouldnt guarantee on it.

fred why not when im up there we call him up slap one of my 35s on and see what it needs

[Lycaon]

i have a 3" fseries/bronco body lift laying around somewhere if you wants to purchase

[clean4drxj]

I forget where but i remember I had bought a 4 inch lift complete brand new for like 250 and my f150 had the dual shock front, anyways I think it was ebay or something like that.

With enough cutting you can run them stock height... I know of a local truck on 38.5x16's on a stock bronco

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

unfortunatly, cutting is not an option.

Thanks for the replies guys, its helping me get a game plan going.

And thanks for the links Customjob.
