what to do, what to do
hey there helpers, I just bought a 1984 bronco 2, and I acquired some 33's. I"m wondering what is the least possible and cheapest way to get the new tires in with no bottoming out or rubbing even through some rough terrain. I was thinking just body lift, homemade style, and I was wondering what all is involved. any suggestions are very welcome

Body lift is the cheapest. You can pull 2" lift with no changes, but 3" or more may interfere with the folowing; Battery cables & wireing, steering shaft extentions, clutch linkage, fan shroud alignment and obviously bumper gap. I am probably missing a couple of things but I am sure some one will point them out.
You can use square tubing on the rear mounts stretching from one mount to the other and not only stabilize the rear of the body, but also make for a good point to anchor a roll cage. Just a thought, you mentioned homemade right?

selling the tires and getting 31's is not an option, they may fit but through off roading and such they'd stil hit no matter what, right? plus the 33s are used and I got them for free. so I can get away with doing a 2 inch body lift and not extending anything? then I could just cut the fenders and everything will fit no problem, right?
