Tire size Question
hey this is my truck and i was just wondering if a 3" lift with 33" tires and spacers would go well with what i have...im going for a certain look and i dont know i just want something a little bulky, wider stance, and not over done...tell me what you think and any ideas on what else i could do to make her look a lil better.. thanks
33x12.50's look and work great with a 2-3" lift, without a lift think they probably will rub and do body damage (not good). I put 32x11.50 BFG AT's on Ameican Outlaw 15x8 wheels on my '90 Bronco without a lift (it does have the HD Quadra Shock Trailer Towing Package) and it looks great! Almost looks like it's lifted, I have absolutely no clearance problems or rubbing even at full wheel lock, doesn't seem to have lost any performance either with 3.55's. Lots of opinions about tire sizes and lifts.

Thats my baby. Its before I put the stronger coils on the front end. In that picture I have 33"x12.5" tires on stock suspension. I would not suggest doing this unless you plan on lifting it. They rubbed when I'd make hard turns which I do alot b/c I like to show off the awsome turning radius Broncos have.
Recently to fix the rubbing problem I put stronger coils on it which gave it a 2" lift in the front. I also upgraded the shocks but that did nothing as far as lifting it. The stronger coils did the trick and the tires don't rub now. I may raise the back by putting blocks on the leaf springs but that is not neccesary.
The springs were cheap, I got them from a local 4x4 place but you can also get them from jeffsbroncograveyard.com.

I put new pictures of my Bronco with the lift in my gallery. I will try and put them on this post but if it doesn't work, look in my gallery. The lift gave me alot of room as you can see on the pictures and I now have the look and feel I was going for which is the wide stance, slight lift, still practical deal.
the pics are from my phone so they look grainy.
lbianic1:yea man i was looking through the site for something that appealed to me and i came across your truck and it was looking nice. i really like the dual front shocks.i wish mine came with that package. i really like the stance on your truck as well and i love the push bar where did you get it?!?!?As for local stores, im actually 15 minutes away from the LMC Truck store and warehouse so i just drive up there to get my parts. i havnt checked but i dont know if they have upgraded suspension.
THANKS TO EVERYONES FEEDBACK AND YES BRONCOS ARE DEFFINATELY THE BEST!
I do know it was fairly inexpensive. Less than $200, maybe $150 or so.
In the near future I'd like to build a little bracket on it so I can mount a winch.
