Suggestions on Bronco lift
My 77 needs to get new leaf springs and with some minor work. Any suggestions for how much it should be lifted since I read somewhere about 2.5 inches. The rear end is almost touching the tires so it needs to be done soon.
Thanks!

Re: Suggestions on Bronco lift
really depends on how much tire/ look you want. Gianacrider's Luber is the perfect stance in my opinion. Whatever you do end up doing make sure to get a quality shock, for ride quality

Re: Suggestions on Bronco lift
just my $.02, the ride quality of bilsteins is awesome, but equally important is quality springs. you dont want to drive a buckboard just to have 2-1/2 of lift. Sh!ty, cheap lifts makes the Bronco driving experience suck having a 92 inch wheelbase!

Re: Suggestions on Bronco lift
The consensus, and I concur, is that 11 leaf packs seem to ride best. I got mine from Tom's Broncos parts and IIRC they are made by Deaver.
