my bronco has a 6 inch suspension lift on it and a 3 inch body lift.

it seems as if the back blocks on my suspension lift wants to slip out, how can i fix this?

also when we jacked the truck up to fix this, the axle shifted over. how much of a mess am i looking at to fix this?

If you have 6" worth of a block (hope there is only one) I would be concerned with the torque applied new 6" springs might be in order. what size tires are you running with 9" of lift, and what is the gearing? I would be concerned that who ever did the lift may not have been as through as may be necessary to make everything work correctly.

ya, the kid i bought it from did not know what he was talking about at all. i have 35's tire size on the truck. and their are two blocks on the suspension lift, im honestly thinking of just removing the suspension lift and keeping the body, because the torque is also making my axle shift back, which therefore makes my u-joints fail in my driveshaft. its a mess.

i wanna have a word with the kid that sold me it but he wont answer the phone call, what a shocker.

will the 35's rub with only a 3 inch body lift?

no they wont, u could just look into rough country and see if they will sell u an add a leaf kit and a one piece block or new spring packs and a one piece block, i would keep the suspension lift.....helps alot off-road with articulation, with just a body lift your not going to be able to do what you can do now, plus you could go up to 37's with the setup you have now, don't know how well the axles will like it. i never liked body lifts, i always had a 6inch suspension running 35's. that was big enough for most obsticles
