What size Lift

[Billy Toppless]

i have a 1990 Bronco with 31 ALT

i want to put 35-36 ALT's on and was wondering wut size lift i would need

i wanna do a body lift if it makes any difference

Well, I'm sure you're thinking body lift for the cost? At least I hope that's your excuse. Anyone will tell you that a sus. lift is a better way to go and safer as well. If you look threw and serch a little you'll find a bunch on this topic and even a sticky in one of the forums. Anyways, you'll need a 6" to clear 35's nicely unless you want to fender trim some. A 6" body lift is a big NO-NO and I don't think anyone makes one anyways. Other than that look around in the forum and I'm sure you'll find some great info on this. Keep on Broncin!

ah s**t

i asked my buddy and he has a 93 f150 and he put 35 m/t's on it and only needed a 3in body lift

so i figured it would be the same for the bronco no?

35's may fit with a 3" body lift, but you may still need to shim the front bumper up to 1" to move it forward enough to clear the tires. A 6" suspension lift is a much better option. JSM84

If you are shooting for the looks of a BIG truck the 3" body would work but it would not allow for much in the way of off road. Alos there is the hiden costs of a body lift. ie everything that has a conection between the body and the frame will need to be modified.

Oh, and if you do a body lift, correctly do the fan shroud or you may end up with over heating problems...

You could do the 3"body and 2" suspension with new front springs and a short block (3"cut in half) and air shocks or addaleaf. You will need the adjustable camber deals from bronco graveyard. My buddy went this way he also trimmed his fender openings since they were rusty anyway.

Make sure you go and physiclly measure the tires you are planning on getting, All manufacturers must use a different tape measure, It seems like

they are like 2x4's I have seen 33's that are actually 31 1/4" tall and some were in the 32" range. I guess they save some money at the factory charging for a 36 and giving 35 1/4 inchers!!

http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-33500_..._1_-2__lift.htm 2 inch lift springs

http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-33520_...shings_pair.htm Alignment bushings

http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-33190_...cers__black.htm You could use these instead of the springs but looks cheap!!

http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-33578_...leafs__rear.htm for the rear end better than blocks

Of course you need to add the price of an alignment. And I would go with all poly bushings when you can afford it!! Untill you can afford the longer shocks you could go with those stud end shock extenders, They had a good sale on shocks I think superlifts for $22.00 each check the clearance and

return section. That would be the cheap way to go, I would see how the clearance is with just these parts. I think body lifts are not really worth it but

if you have to go with it. pepboys has those Futura Dakota AT tires for pretty cheap, I got mine for $90.00 each for 33x12.50 and mounted them myself no balance and I don't get any vibration even at 75mph, They are a decent tire and do real good in sand and will clean out with a couple of blips on the

throttle every now and then as long as it isn't too sticky of mud!!
