Smile lower a 4x Bronco 2

I have been raising trucks all my life and now my son wants to lower his B2. It is a 4 whl drive and we only need about 2 in. I was wondering if 2whl drive frt coils would work? what would I need for rear leaves/shackles. I know I can get offset bushings for the Ball joints but how many degrees would I need? I have 17 in cobra rims to put on with 245-45-17 for the summer and stock for the winter. I know this is a strange request for a 4X but you know kids these days. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dr.

Since the back is higher than the front, you're probably going to want to do a flip kit on the back.. this relocates the springs under the axles since the B2 have spring over axles. This should lower the back 4-5 inches.. and you can add up to a 2" block which will lower it 2 more inches. Any lower than this and you're going to have problems.

Summit Racing has the kits, and they're made by Belltech.

This isn't going to be an easy task with the independant front suspension (IFS).
