Lift Kit

Brando32 · Apr 20, 2014

Has anyone ordered the Basic Lift kit off Bronco Graveyard?

http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-23800-4-lift-kit-black-bushings-1978-79-bronco.html

I was just wondering if this would be a fully functional lift that would bolt right in? Or would more parts be needed to complete it?

All the Bronco stores have the suspension lifts in various degrees of completeness, height, & quality.

1st, you need to know what you're going to do with your rig. Many things change due to the lift &

sometimes some fine tuning is needed after completion.

The "OTHER" things needed are pointed out right above the price on the kit you pointed out.

Although, they left out brake lines & emergency brake cables, & possibly a longer track bar,

& drag link.

However, IMHO, a 4" lift is meant for some heavy duty 4x4'n, rockcrawl'n, etc.

If that's your intent, I wouldn't waste $$ on a "basic" kit.

Soft ride, great flex 11 pak rear springs are what's happen'n these days.

If you just want "the look" then go for it......

IMHO?

But I am hoping to get some 37's under the Bronco, I can fit 35's stock with all the trimming that has been done, plus I just want the extra height too, to make it look a little nicer.

IMHO = "In my humble opinion"

Remember..., "SAFTY" is # 1 project/concern.

Rule of thumb;

On any rig, for every major change/modification, 2 or 3 more will be required.

For example: on my lift, I had to change "6" other suspension/steering components to obtain

smooth, safe roadability & handling..!!!

There's nothing more discouraging than sinking buckets of $$ into a rig, only to find

it's no longer fun or safe to drive.

Sounds about right, I seem to find all these projects to do to it, but I need the help to get it done, and plus even with the help, other issues seem to occur that I was never ready for.

Welcome to 4x4'n "101"..... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

But, DON'T get discouraged..! It's all fun & a great education. We've all been thru it.

The best thing you can do is "homework" "homework" & "homework" .., take your time.

Pick up a few 4x4 magazines with articles about a project you are considering.

The library can be a big help., as well as on line.

None of these projects are all that hard but, some are a bit dangerous..!

And as stated, some of the outcomes/completed projects are dangerous.

I take to mechanics naturally (no brag, just fact). I took the whole rear axle out, serviced,

& installed the lift. Same with the front axle, steering, & suspension. NEVER did anything

like that before, & did it all by myself. (same with many other projects, mods, updates)

Then had to take the front apart again to change to even bigger (7deg.) C-bushings.

Nobody knows why but, two completely LIKE rigs can req. different size/shapped parts.

(speaking of mods of course, not internal parts)

It's all fun.., & feels good when you "get it right" ....

Folks with no experience, should have some help by someone experienced with these projects.

And, as always, SAFTY FIRST... >

BTW.., where's all the pics..???

Yeah, I had bought a used 6" rancho lift a while ago, but i ended up selling it to a friend of mine because i ddin't want to have to buy any more parts that were supposidly needed, turned out all he did was add Longer U Bolts and it was a 4", so it woul dhave worked. I probably have more parts sitting around then pictures of the bronco... i'll try and get some up.
