Question lift

What is a good easy lift for an 88'. I'm running 33's and I need about 2 inches.
I don't want to change handling too much.

handling will actual improve with a lift. i suggest going with a 4" setup running extended radius arms and rear AAL.

when i lifted my 88 6"s with above hardware the ride and handling improved big time. the stock suspension almost 20yrs old.

http://www.suspensionconnection.com/ I ordered the add-a-leaf & front coil spacers from Suspension Connection. They are very reliable. The shocks I ordered locally from a KYB dealer. The gas-adjust KYB is a monotube high pressure shock that rides good and has a life time warranty. I actually added the rear add a leafs first so I could tow a 21' camper (which I've done for three years now). The lift in the rear stayed up so good that I added the poly spacers in the front to level it. I bought a coil spring compressor from Harbor Freight and used a torch on the spring clips in the rear that hold the spring pack in line to heat up the clips so I could bend clips open like the letter U. This keeps the spring pack lined up. I have since had my camber adjusted in the front as well after a run in with a concealed stump (my sunglasses were too dark). I use the Bronco for both towing and some 4wheeling.
