Lifting a 94 Bronco

[Sportsman35]

Could i use the coil springs out of a F350 and build my own Radius Arms? Has anybody tried that? Good idea or bad for the alignment? How high would that lift it?

yo Sportsman,

Bill M installed one from a 1 ton (from an 89 diesel) in a 95

No other info available

Most use F series (35) leaf springs, mainly for a Solid Axle Suspension (SAS) Conversion

such as;

Alignment will be needed

It didn't appear that it raised his Bronco that much. How much did it raise it?

here are justy two pics/captions

"...Taken from the same position as the before picture. Totally finished.

Now, just a side note, it seems to me that as these springs "set" to my Bronco, instead of getting lower as the springs break in, they actually seem to be raising more, I will take more pics and measurements this coming weekend. As it sits (as of completed day) I went from 34" to 36" from the ground to my fender. "

Okay cool. It looks good. You use F350 coil springs? Im looking to raise mine like 4 or 6 inches.
