Bronco lift question

[what road]

i have a 1990 full size Ford Bronco. i am wondering what kind of height increase i can expect if i replace my front springs with F-250 or F-350 springs..will i have to get new raduis arms to compensate if there is any change in height ..is there anything that needs to be changed or replaced



thanks

If you have the stock front end youll have coils up front. And no there is no easy way to lift the TTb front end(thats the stock front axle).

[Dustin Smith]

This is untrue. You can net about 1.5-2 inches of lift with the heavier springs, but it might give you a little hell with your camber.

You would be looking at a F-250 4x2 with coils, I don't know if the F-350 4x2 came with coils, I don't think they are different just stiffer.

talk to any place that does rearching of springs and shit like that....theres a place in Austin, Tx called Atlas Spring that sold me 2" overload coils for my F150 for $90. they did their job of compensating for the ranch hand front bumper while they were on there.

I thinkk the springs you may be looking for are stock E350 van springs. They will give you between 2 and 3 inches of lift. You can then buy adjustable camber bolts to correct the alignment.

i do have the stock shitty front axle but i can't afford to do a SAS right now..thats why i was looking for a quick easy way to get some lift to clear at least a set of 33's...where can i get a set of adjustable camber bolts?? i haven't heard of these before since the only things i have worked on in the past have been jeeps..

thanks

It will clear 33s stock.....

[what road]

yeah, it will clear them but i won't get any articulation which leaves me worse off than i am with no lift at all running a set of 31's and besides that a truck with tires that just barely clear looks like shit and the guy thats driving it is a suburban commando whos biggest thrill of the day is playing parking lot roulet at bi-lo...in other words if i'm going to do it i want to at least be able to drive over a speed bump or hit a pot hole and not eat fender.

[Dustin Smith]

I have seen lots of Big Broncos with 33s stock, and no "eating fender". you must have some wore smooth out ass springs. I had 31s on mine stock, and never came close to rubbing, up to the point of lifting tires without swaybars.

Awfully funny that you mention articulation and a TTB truck in the same reference...LOL

[what road]

i have 31's on mine currently as well and yeah my springs are worn out thats why i'm looking into getting new ones..ya caught me fatlock good job on deduceing that one...as far as saying my TTb articulates..allright it doesn't but it was the closest word i could think of other than "break shit" that described what i was wanting to say..although i think breakin shit is more appropriate...i'm thinking of comparing the e-350 springs to the stock ones for the bronco and seeing if there is enough diference to warent buying them..does anyone have any other spring suggestions other than a SAS which i can't afford..but if anyone wants to give me the money to do it i'll have a solid axle under there the next day.

[4x4junkie]

Take the swaybar off. The TTB 'll articulate some. Check the shock length, too. They're often too short.

It'll have absolutely no flex with stiff assed F250 or F350 coils, though.

I think coilspacers are what you're looking for (gives about 1.5" lift. requires camber realignment).

thanks alot for your suggestions..i think i'm just going to wait untill i can afford a SAS and go that way insted of screwing around with coil spacers which i dont really like and stuffing some springs under there that will require more work than i want to put into a TTb front

thanks

Fatlock, thats quaint, you little prick....33s will clear well, even with worn out springs. If you had SEARCHED you might have already known the answers to the questions you asked.

[what road]

aww thats sad, prick is the best you could do..its not even origional..i hope you didn't hurt yourself thinking of that one..although i'm sure you muct have had help be that much thought i'm sure would have made you pass out..come on schleprock i would hope you could do better than that but considering the advice you have give me thus far i doubt it...i mean come on skippy get your shit together..i don't just want to have 33's on the truck i want to be able to run them..and besides that my question wasn't even about running 33's it was about how much lift i could get with various other spring combinations..i only answered your origional post to be polite. well the lenguth of this conversation by far surpasses my interest in it and in anything else you may have to say to or about me.
