: Lift on bronco


Lure

I have a 1970 eb and I want to do a very cheap and easy lift. It needs to be safe and all that stuff to:D I am thinking maybe a 4" lift or something. I don't want to have to change the drivelines yet. I will extend the brake lines and stuff though. So basically I was wondering what would be the cheapest route to go? Also, where would be the cheapest place to get some frontend bushings?


Thanks a lot

Remember- you said "cheapest" way.

Used 3.5" coils off the board- $50.00 ($170.00 new)

Stock rear springs

2" lift block:barf: I have a pair I'll trade for :beer

New u-bolts- ??

Used shocks- ??

If you're patient and resourcefull, you could do it for less than $150.00!


Good luck!

Like Mark said cheap means being patient and putting in the time. If your inpatient you can buy my Duffs 2.5" coils, leafs, and set of Rancho 5000s for $100. Bolt it up and go, maybe some new brake lines. With fender trimming your good for 33's, add a $100 2" body lift and your good for 35-36s
Four Wheel Parts actually has decent pricing on the bushings.

I'll have some 3.5" Nationals that have sagged about 1" available in a month or two. Just as soon as I get my F-150s installed.

Hey Mark :flipoff2:

I said if he was INPATIENT this was what was availible, did you throw out leafs with good bushings and a set of good shocks too?:p
If he don't want em I don't care, I'll save them for the the daily driver project I'm starting when I'm too cripple to stack rocks, should be next year :D

yup i did in fact, i would not call them "good" though :D,
Dailydriver project?, I have been thinking about it too, make one almost all stock, as in uncut rear fenders, I think they look kind of cool like that

There ya go Lure, your all set. Glad I got the ball rolling with my outrageous rip off offer. And your welcome for reminding these guys of all the junk they have.
Now do you need a nice set of tires to go with that lift? :D

thank you all for the help. Yes I will need a set of tires to go with that lift. Also, I am new to the bronco world so I was wondering if duff springs were any good. I take it that they aren't because you guys were making fun of them. Thanks a lot

so can I go to a pick n pull or something and grab some coils off another truck that are just bigger stock? If so, what kind of truck, and how much taller will it be? Thanks a lot

Can I take them off an f-250
