Leveling Kit

I have a 1979 bronco that I want to level, I already have 8.5 inches of lift on the front (3" inch body lift, 3.5 inch spring tower drop, and 2 inch taller coil springs), I need something like a polyurethane spacer. The truck sags because of huge custom bumper, 8,000 pound warn winch, and 460 big block.

I would get different springs they are probably way too soft for the components you got! If you just put spacers in they are going to continue sagging!! If you want to try it make your own out off old 22ply rated truck tires and a sawzall.

Weight is definitely your issue - try looking for a pair +2" 3/4 ton springs. Some may say that they will be stiffer and ruin the ride but with all the bumper and motor in the front end they shouldn't be too bad.

Depends On Want Looks The Best. That 2" Spacer Doesn't Look The Best, But It Is Cheaper Then Ordering Taller Coils. If You Got 2" Taller Coils, Figure How Much You Need And Order That Much Spring. I Know That Superlift Front Springs Are Really Heavy And Thick In Diameter. Good Luck.
