: Lift on bronco
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
Lure:D
Rubicrawler 05-17-2002, 09:31 AM 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!
Mondo EB 05-17-2002, 10:22 AM 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.
welndmn 05-17-2002, 10:34 AM haha, i throw one set of duff 2 inch coils away and gave the other set to Ron at serria bronco.com, call him and see if he still has them
Rubicrawler 05-17-2002, 10:43 AM 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
dumplin 05-17-2002, 12:38 PM Just use a sawzall , if you don't have one Sears has got em' for reasonable prices ! :flipoff2:

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
Flatty 05-17-2002, 02:30 PM Cheap is the key word here. Some F250 front coil springs, and add a leafs for the rear. You can have my opld setup fro free if you want them. I ahve the whoel thing incluiding shocks.

Mondo EB 05-17-2002, 03:40 PM 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
Mike -aka THE Used Car Salesman
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
-CHeck PM flatty-
Lure:D
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
