so you have a 16inch wheel on a bronco, hmmm, thats not factory, did you replace the gear inside the speed sensor to make up for the bigger tire???

a 31" tire is a 31" tire no matter what size rim you have and there really is no reason I see to have to change the speedo. The 265/75/15 was an option on the Bronco and may have been standard on EB in 96. I know my Bronco came with the 265 option. The 31' tire is slightly shorter than the 265 so I don't see why everyone thinks the tires are too big. Anything smaller than 31" would look like a bike tire on a Bronco. Cut the coil don't go to 6 cylinder springs. Look for a lowering spring if you don't want to cut them.

I would just let some air out of the tires to get into the garage. Get a cig lighter air pump to air'em up when you go cruisin' and while you're looking for some other coils. I have seen air bags that fit inside the front coil springs on a 4wd but not replacement bags. I know alot of people that have cut the coils on 2wd's to lower the front 1-2 inches, and that's probably your cheapest route.

Easy solution. Simply mount a big ol burly solid steel bumper that weighs a good few hundred pounds, and add a 15,000 winch while you are at it. If the extra weight doesn't help you sit low enough, then you just hook up the winch and make things fit

This has nothing to do with the home garage which is taller than the problem one...it's a business where all parking needs to happen inside a garage. The problem is the garage was never built correctly.
This is in Palm Beach, hardly a crime problem...still there is no other option.
