Suspension AND Body lift

I have a 1990 Bronco with dual front shocks. I am trying to get enough clearance to install Super Swamper Thornbird 35x12.5x15 tires, but I want to also be able to use the Ranch RS 9000 shocks. I've spoken with the people at Rancho and they assure me the RS 9000s won't work with a 6" lift, and their Rancho 4" lift doesn't provide enough clearance for the 35"s.

Is it safe/possible to install the Rancho 4" Suspension lift with a 3" Body Lift? If so, does anyone have a recommendation on which body lift I should buy?
Thanks.

Suspension AND Body lift

Hey , i have 33 on my 87 bronco with no lift at all,
and they just rub a bit on the radius arms on verry close turns, so i almost sure that 35 have to fit just fine with that 4 inch susp. i dont see any trouble having a body lift, but i personaly prefear to do a fender trim or bumper relocation,
just in case it's needed, that deppends on the
weels you choose, if they're to negative then
the tires may rub at the bumper otherwise they rub at the radius arms, no matter how lifted the truck is. just my opinion.


1987 Full size bronco 302 carb c6
headers 3'inch exaust with flowmaster
33 tires 3.55 gears no lift.
