I have just bought a 72 Bronco which is mostly stock. So far I am much happier with it than the 5 previous fj40s I have owned. I would really like to keep it as stock as possible, but I also think it needs a lift and bigger tires to be considered a proper 4x4 for my tastes. I want to do this without cutting the rear fenders because I want it to appear to be a factory setup, kind of like the ford tall boy pick up trucks of the 70s. I was at first considering a 2 1/2" lift with 31-10.50-15 BF Goodrich a/ts. From what I have researched, the 3 1/2" lifts with drop pitman arms have a better geometry. I am not looking to do any serious wheeling with this rig. Mybe some light trails, but I am mostly looking for a comfortable and safe road ride. I am also considering 3 1/2" with 33-9.50-15 BFG ats. I am not looking to go extreme with this rig. I just want to raise it a little, to make it a comfortable factory trail rig if there is such a thing. Any Info or experience anyone has had along these lines will be greatly appreciated. I would really like to get this right the first time for a change. Pictures are also appreciated.
