Bronco height
Hey guy random question here. I just moved into a new house and the garage door is super low. I was wanting to see how tall everyone's rig is. I want to mive the garage door up but so I want to see how much I may need to go. My bronco has nothing higher than the bed rails and its on pizza cuters just to move it around. I'm looking for something on 35s and a 4-5inch lift. Thanks

Re: Bronco height
How low is low? I posted this exact question up a year or two ago but wasn't able to find it. There's also several threads over on CB.com where people have posted up their measurements (of their rigs...)

Re: Bronco height
Just found that stock height is 71.6" so I'm screwed with 35s and 5inch lift. I don't even know if letting the air out of the tires would get me to fit.

Re: Bronco height
I don't think that stock height measurement is correct. I "think" I am right at 74" on my bronco with about 4"of lift and 37s. I would go and measure but I'm in New Jersey currently for work.

Re: Bronco height
I'm at about 77" with a total of about 5.5" of lift and 34" tires. My garage measures to 82".

Re: Bronco height
Agreed, you should be OK. I was at 3.5" SL and 2" BL on 35's and (i think) a 74" door. I cleared it by about 1/2" with the top up and had a couple of inches with it off.

Re: Bronco height
So. I had this issue when I put my 42's on. It's amazing what you can do with some ratchet straps around the bumper and the axle. Lowered mine a few inches to get in and out of garage before I built my shop.
