lift kit for a 74 bronco?

[Built not bought]

I need a decent suspension lift kit for my bronco other then the 5.5 I can find like a little more height for it!

It does have 3 and half now with 31s though. Im putting this together for a daily driver and weekend toy just want to have some fun for something me and my wife can do together, but the 31s will do nothing, but get me stuck.

Add an inch or two of body lift and you can run 35" tires. Just how high do you want to go?

I want to run 35s or 37s on it. I have been thinking of doing the 5.5 and a 3 inch body lift on the old girl!

check these guys out http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/fd4_early_Bronco.htm skyjacker part #BR7AK 7" lift for 66-77 ford bronco 37" tire with fender flares

The only thing good about lifting broncos that high is to impress girls and you have one, so get over it!!

A 5.5 lift and some trimming is all you need for 35s.
Broncos are already top heavy and flop easy.

Give me a call and we can set you up with something nice and flexy yet still rides/drives great. I would recomend a 3.5 suspension and 3" body or a 5.5 suspension. Again you may want to do a little searching and reading reviews. PERSONALLY i would not use skyjacker or anything like that. Please chime in guys!

call wildhorses! when i did the SAS on my BII i used their 5.5" EB progressive rate coils and they were NICE! even when i swaped to rockwells, they still held up with zero issues!

Every build is different, but you can run 33's on a factory height EB with the fenders cut fairly aggresively. 35's are no problem with 3.5" suspension lift and 1-2" of body lift, which then gives you the benefit of a lower center of gravity than a 5.5" suspension lift and better clearance under the body for transmission swaps, t-cases, oversize gas tanks, exhaust, etc. 37's don't take that much more effort than 35's, you just have to cut and clearance everything a little bigger.

The EB crowd is fortunate to have vendors like Wild Horses, Tom's Bronco Parts, James Duff, JBG, BCB, etc...any and all of which can set you up with anything from individual components all the way up to complete systems, that way you can do it the way you want to do it. First you need to figure out what you want though, so I would suggest shopping around and talking to the folks that pimp that stuff every day.

Thanks for the kind words! I truely belive exactly what you and many other people are saying. But what both of you said is true. I would shop around and read real world reviews of products. If you decide you want to go our way then know that i try to help out all of our pirate customers.

Maybe you should build it instead of buying it.

This is what I was thinking. Your SN should be "Bought and assembled"



Wildhorses would be my choice

Ditto. If you are going to buy it instead of building it then wildhorses would be my first choice. Damn good company.

def wanna go with one of the bronco manufactures i have wild horses and love it
i am 3.5 with 33s fit is great 3.5 and 3 inch body with the fenders trimmed like always will def fit 35s or even 37

[Built not bought]

Im fairly new to the 4x4s. I always had lowriders and race cars pretty much. This is something we want to be at least on 35s cause some of our farm is pretty mushy and always wet never seen a truck on anything smaller then 35s go threw there.

Ive sold my 2 lowrider trucks today to help finish this Bronco and working in the parts store has it benefits like I have learned already with this thing. Im most def. fixing to set it up for a 37 inch tire and Im going from there and getting ready for alot of playing the mud in the summer.

Since it is already lifted is there something I can do to raise it up some more like a spring or coil change? I will be doing a body lift for a 302 or 351 swap later on.

first, you would have to know what is on it already (springs), or you might end up with the same or less lift... you might get more, but its a chance. if your gonna do it right (and not wind your own springs), goto one of the manufacturers already mentioned website and find a spring set with the rate that will give you what your looking for. trying to get something with more lift than what you have, when you dont know what you have is a crapshoot.

It is a 3.5 Im not sure on the brand, but I think it is skyjacker. The truck has 31s on it right now.

ahha. well then theres your answer, you want a 5.5 spring. be sure to get a progressive rate spring.

Ok. I see now sorry man not trying to be a noob to this, but Im good with engines and dropping stuff to the ground never thought I would be trying to go up with one.

I've ran 36" TSL's with WH's 3-1/2" and quite a bit of trimming. Flexed and handled well. I wanted to keep the center of gravity as low as I could. As for the skyjackers, well...they suck! Go with WH's or Duffs.

[Built not bought]

k got you there. Im going to give WH a call in a few waiting on my kiddo to crash for her nap.

[Built not bought]

I might just add springs and change what all I need to do this.

[Built not bought]

ok it is settled.

Im going to run 37s via 3.5 suspension and a 3 inch body lift on it since it has fender flares already on it and I know some more trimming is involved.

[recoiljunky]

I'm running 36" TSLs with 2" suspension + 3" body + fender trimming. I think the setup is perfect. I can do a donut without rolling the damn thing and I still have plenty of clearance for the tires.

Now about that 302 / 351 thing you mentioned; you're going to want some body lift to help clear the 351w you want. Also it helps fit the NP435 you're going to want too.

Im looking into doing a carbed turbo setup on my 302 and some other little things.
