2" Lift for bronco
Our 82 bronco is in need of new leaf springs so I figured I would put some in that lift it up a couple of inches. I figure I would do the fronts as well. I have heard that you can lift a bronco or truck a max of 2" before you need any major modifications. I mean like dropped pitman arms and pinion angles being corrected, drop brackets, stuff like that. Is there truth to this? Anyone gotten away lifting a truck only a couple of inches with no problems?

2" Lift for bronco
There are no major mods for a 2" lift because the shocks and brake lines are good. The alignment is correctable with 2" of lift. However, if you step up to 4" the brake lines, shocks, and special axle pivot brackets need to be installed to correct alignment. For a cheap suspension lift, I got a superlift for 700. That came with shocks, rear lift blocks, 4" coil springs, all the grade 8 hardware i needed, axle pivot brackets, and radius arm drop brackets. The radius arm drop brackets are the cheap way to go, and is only if you don't plan on doing any serious off roading. The better option is getting new longer radius arms but those add another 200 to the price. I got stainless steel brake lines which were 140 for three but inproved my braking ability.
