Pic request 78/79 bronco 4" lift
N00b question. I am going to install a 4" lift on my Bronco (freebie) and im trying to decide what size tires I will be running. I was decided on 35's until i saw a bronco with 35's and no lift, so i just want to make sure.
Please post up your trucks. Ideally, i would like to see a 4" lift on 35x12.50's with 15x10's but ill look at everything. It will be mostly a pavement princess, because the truck is too nice and original to beat up in the trails, so im not too concerned about stuffing the tires when articulating. Thanks! |
Check the pictures in this link: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...oncos-172.html go from the page I sent you back, checking the latest ones first, there are several with configurations close to what you're asking so you'll get the idea.

One of my old 79 Broncos had a 4" lift and 36" RVT's on 15x12 wheels when I got it. They cleared with no problems....even getting a little crazy!! That's what I love about the 78/79 Broncos and 70's Ford trucks.....they had that big wheel opening!! Remember, there is a lot of axle movement on that coil spring front end. You can "fit" a 35" on a stock suspension, but if you do anything off road....you have a good chance of stuffing a tire into a fender!

36" RVT's.......Boy , I'm showing my age!!

Sorry Encho I can't miss the opportunity to show off TGM :D
TGM will fit the bill even if it isn't the lift you mean. http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/...ps26379450.jpg 78, with a 3" body lift which means, your bronco will look very similar but with more suspension showing. Seeing as the OEM body bushings are about 1" anyways I can say it's about 4". http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/...ps57b38173.jpg 35 inches of beautiful Wrangler MTR Kevlar rubber. 15 inch steel black rims that are 11 inches wide, the tires are 12.5. Even dirty that are awesome. http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/...psf8ecf5d6.jpg Even with stock suspension the tires will tuck in nicely. http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/...908_144923.jpg I couldn't and still haven't ever gotten this to bottom out. http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/...908_144906.jpg I also have the stock front and back stabilizer bars. I love to show off my truck and the picture thread that Mr. Encho posted will have a lot of mine. Cruising first to last would take a while but it is worth it. |
here's mine 4"s on 35x12.5x15 on old school 15x10's

Harley, I have to say, that is a sexy bronco.... It does look like you have a bit of a saggy ass though :D Probably just needs an Add-A-Leaf though to stiffen it a bit.

awesome! sell me your wheels! ive been looking for a set of 15x10 turbine wheels with no luck...do you have radius arm drop brackets?
|
Judging by the pictures and the angle of the radius arms, I would say he has some sort of drop bracket. I like the look of those Turbine rims but they are getting hard to come-by.
|
Im not sure if my freebie 4" lift has drop brackets or not, since i havent opened the boxes yet...lol
there is a company in Royal Oak Michigan, by me, that refinishes and sells turbines. they have a set of 4 15x10 5x5.5 for $2000. excuse me while i puke |
Sorry for the late reply, Thanks for the compliments folks. No the radius arm brackets are stock. The Turbines took me a couple of years to find. I've had them on the '79 now for a couple of years and I have still continued looking for 1 more for the spare to match. I have found them on Ebay for a price that would cost me more then a brand new set of 35" tires...

Also if your not set on 15x10s, I saw an ad on craiglist the other day under ford truck parts where a guy is parting out a early 70's F series 1/2 ton with turbine wheels. Instead of black like mine they are red, but look to be 15x8...
