Skyjacker makes a 9" coil for the F series, which will fit the Bronco. For the rear, you could go with a 5.5" spring and a 3" block (wheel hop is going to be bad). Or you could go with a 5.5" coil and drop the coil tower down. There are no "kits" available for the Bronco.

You will need some extensive work with the steering and suspension geometry to get it to steer. With that much lift, I would suggest a drop pitman arm, and a tie rod over, along with leveling the track bar as close to stock as you can. You will also need some radius arm drop brackets.

What are your plans for this Bronco? Are you lifting it that high just to fit large tires or do you plan on wheeling it? There is nothing wrong with a properly installed body lift. I have wheeled mine with a 2" body for many years. It would get you to the lift you want and still make it driveable.
