I'm thinking about going up to a 5.5 lift. I have 37" mtr and 3.5 with 1"body. Any feedback on 5.5 with larger tires

I have a 3.5 susp lift witha 2 in body lift, if i was to do it all over again i would do 5.5 susp lift and just replace the shot body mounts more travel justa better way to lift ur bronco just my 2cents.

I despise body lifts. 5.5" suspension lift is a nice size but would be too tall with any body lift IMO. I am really liking the idea of less lift with big tires and cut to clear. Keeps your center of gravity in a good place. When/if I go up to 40s I will cut to clear before I lift it any higher. If I were you only wanting to run 37s I would keep it at 4.5 total lift.

I want to go to 40inch tires. I need a 60 front 1st. Currently I hit my tires bad on full stuff in the rear. Next winter I would like to do a 60 hp front with a 4 link

I am running a 2.5" spacer. That helps

What is the story on the 60 kchaser

The front is a high pinion king pin Dana 60 out of a 87 f350 and the rear is a 60 out of 1978. 410 gears in both and rear is factory posi Both axles are complete minus brake lines (I had to steal the brake lines for my build). These are the same year axles that I put under my bronco. $1000 for the set.

I think my 9" is strong enough for 40s. Would you sell the front only. And come over and guide me on a install ;)

Or when crawler does a 60. I could help to gain a little know how

How talk are u crawler, jesusman. I don't think I will fit in the garage vwith A 5.5

Would have to measure. Right now my tires are down to 10psi from the recent snow bash trip. I'll get a measurement when they are at street pressure.

I have never had a bronco with anything else than what I have now, but I think if I want more flex, it's time to four-link and go to air shocks or coil-overs. I still think a lot of stability comes from a flexy suspension.

I wouldn't mind 5.5 on full width axles, but I think I like my stock width for the reasons Crawler points out in other threads. I would like a few more inches of length tho. Improve approach and departure angle as well as stretch the rig a little.

J.D.

Crawler, how tall is your garage door? I've thought about going to 37s, but am really, really close right now.

I'm running a 5.5" susp. lift & 35s and I clear my garage door by about 1.5"-2". It's tight.

I have 37s now I rub in the rear tubs bad I have 1" body lift and 3.5susp

What about front driveline angles. I have shims for the rear but am I going to need a hp setup. Or a different drive shaft

Where do you rub?

You'd be happier with an HP front setup anyway.

In the rear tub during full compression

But on the back of the wheel wells, on the inside, front? Maybe you need spacers on the wheels.

im currently running 5.5" wh lift, 2" body and 35's and clear the garage door by 2", mine is plenty flexy, and i plan on going to 37's but im going to drop it to 4.5"s of suspension, as i have a slight driveline vibration in the rear i can't fully get rid of with out dropping it or going to a hp 9" center section, and its just a little to tippy for my liking, before i did the long arms i had 4.5" of lift and 2" body, and i loved it, it never rubs, but its also on fullwidth axles
