whats the easiest way to do this?
id prefer suspension lift..
i dont like body lifts to much

Thanks

 

Get a 4" lift from rancho. Or a 6" Pro Comp lift. 2.5 inches will rub alot with 33" tires especially if your going to add mud tires.

 

Hi all,
I've got 90 full size Bronco E.B. at stock higth. Before I put on new tires & Rims I had a set 15 x 8" or 9" rims with a set of 33 x 12.5 tires and every time I made a sharp turn, left or right, my tires always rubbed on the radius arms. Just put on a set of 15 x 10 American Eagle rims and 33" x 12.5 Yokohama A/T tires and I have no rubbing at all. The new wheels & tires stuffs the wheel wells good and looks very, very nice. as soon as I get some pictures I'll try to post them

So for all who might want Larger tires without the suspension lift, A good set of 15 x 10 rims will help solve the problem with the rubbing. I think the largest size tire with new rims would be 33 x 12.5.

I have already bought & payed for a 4" superlift suspension lift,
with the intire package. new radious arms, Leaf springs(no Blocks), coils, supper runner steering package, & shocks.

Hope this helps

Hulk Hogan in the front and Jesse Ventura in the back....

 

my 89 EB has 33X13.50 mickey thompson baja claws with no lift at all i had to take the running boards off though and i have 15X10 rims also (centerline hellcats) with a small amount of backspacing and only get a very ery slight rub at full turn but its only like a 1/2" so it doenst matter too much at all just my 2 cents

Just an update for your lift question. I don't like the body lifts my self, either. Stick with suspension lift.
I just picked up my 90 Bronco from the shop last week. Put on 4" Superlift suspension lift, Superrunner Steering linkage, coils, radious Arms, Leaf springs(no Blocks), & shocks. Just the Parts alone were about $2,400. Almost everybody I talked to regarding lifts was leaning towards this package that I had put on. Especially the Superlift Superrunner kit. It helps with the stearing geometry (Even if you go with another manufacturers Lift, it helps). If I need to go any higher I could go the cheap way and add 2" blocks in back and Spacers in coils up front & drop the TTB down one notch. Some of the new Suspension Parts are enterchangable between the 4" and 6" lift.
Curently Running tire size 33" x 12.5 Yokohama A/T on a set of 15 x 10 American Eagle rims. I Still have room for 35" tires if need be.
I have already had someone ask me if I want to sell my rig. I just looked over & smiled(basically laughing too myself saying he*@#@ no!!!) Too much fun with my toy. May go out wheeling tommorow up in Tahoe area, put this lift to the test.

Hope this helps

 

Hi I am going to put a 4" or 6" lift on my F350(I know its not a bronco, but I tow a 5th wheeler). Your drop down brackets sound ajustable. Could you post a photo of them please and a part number. That way I could reset my front springs(leafs) to 4inch, hook up the gooseneck remeasure and if there is room reset the springs to 6 inch and put the ttb in next hole???
Thanks Steve

 

So what did you decide to do? I think you should get a 6" superlift with the superrunner steering. And their complete leafs for the rear. Don't go with anything less if you want to run 35" tires.
