I have an 85 bronco with the I6 and the 3 speed tranny. It is currently stock sittin on 33 x 12.5 tires with no rub whatsoever. I'm looking to lift it to fit 35's or 36's. I currently have some 3" blocks for the back that i haven't installed. I'm trying to decide what to do with the front. I don't have a lot of money some i'm trying to be cost effective. I don't mind trimming the fenders but if i don't have to i don't want to. I thought about 2" spacers or just getting 3" springs but im not sure which is best, if i do either will i have to replace the shocks? Also, if i did the 2" spacers or the the springs would i be able to use spacers to fix the castor/camber or would i need all the drop down brackets? Also, whats everyones opinion of a 2" body lift on top of the suspension lift as well, would i need to mess with the steering column or would it be alright. This is mainly gonna be a mud toy, only on the road to drive to the mud holes. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would recommend getting a full lift kit either 4" or 6" the majority of the components are for maintaining the front geometry. so you will have zero alignment issues and will have a better ride to the mud whole. you can get 2" or 3" lift springs and the camber adjustment spacer and it will be relatively normal.

I currently run stock suspension with 33's and I do fine in the mud holes, but I want to turn this thing into a monster, if you get the parts for the 6" lift then you can go crazy from there. Im looking at roughly 10" to 14" when im done.

in the end its up to you.
