i have a 72 bronco with 35" goodyear mtr's and am going to 37" mtr's. my question is in regard to what sort of lift or suspension setup to run.

for the rear, i have thought of simply moving the rear shackles and leaf mounts just down about an inch and a half. also looked at the f-150 springs with real shackles. how do the f-150 leafs ride on the road and flex on the trail?

as for the front, the long radius arms and longer coils with coil pivots are what i am looking at. how do the pivots ride? also, how do you like the longer radius arms?

this is an everyday driver so i want to keep it low enough to just fit the 37's. any information/ideas/experience would be greatly appreciated on this topic. thanks in advance for your help.

also the 35's with wheels, mounted/balanced are for sale for 800. one trip on them.

Hey I have 37" boggers on my 67 check it out in readers rides.

It has 4 1/2 wild horses spring's in back.
3 1/2 springs in frt with home built spring pivot's.
And a 2" body lift for the cold duck.
In the summer i drive it 15 miles to work all the time.
It drives straight,no wobble just a little soft in tight corners,on ramp's. Hell it drives better than my heep cherokee.

the only thing i would suggest is spring for 9000"s

Wristed arm in front and flipped schackles in rear . Grab a sawzall
and some tinsnips and get to hacking for max clearance . :flipoff2:

What lift and how much to have now?
if you fit 35's add a 1-2 inch body and run 37's
the piviots you are not going to like if you have to drive it eveyday

I have a good friend that runs 35s on his EB with NO lift whatsoever. He just cut until it didn't rub anymore. He wheels everywhere in it and it does great. If you already have a lift you may be able to use the sawzall. Otherwise add more lift-body or suspension.
