1996 Bronco New BSD 4" long arm lift on IFS suspension- Setting Wheelbase - jrshepherd - 01-26-2016
Hello. I recently installed a BSD 4" lift on my 1996 Bronco and need help setting the front IFS. It is set to the 105" per BDS, but i thing the Drivers side needs to be adjusted a little. Good news is i own a 2 post lift and have the tools to complete the repair. The bad news is I need an expert to help me make sure its 100% correct. Im located in the South Park area of Charlotte. Is there anyone around who can guide me in person or via the web? Thanks for all your help.

I'm assuming your talking about this lift kit.

And the 105" your referring to is the wheel base correct?
Measure the vehicle wheelbase before beginning the suspension installation and record here
__________. The wheel base is the distance from the center of the front axle to the center
of the rear axle (hub-to-hub). This measurement should be approximately 105"

Thats Correct. I had help from my BIZ partner and we forgot to write down the wheelbase. Big mistake i know. Its currently set at 105", but i think its still off a little. Thanks for the response

I would think tarheel 4wd or 4 wheel parts could get it fixed. I'm finding 104.2-105" on the net. I'd just make them equal somewhere in that range.
What kind of issues are you having right now? I had a 92 with a 6" BDS kit on it about 10 years back. It drove well.

I would think as long as both sides are the same ans around 105" you should be fine. IF not I would try calling BDS and ask them, I have been told they are real helpful

Thanks for the response. When I torque the drivers side long arm the pivot bushing it's going to bind on the drop bracket for the ifs. Thx for your help

Thx for the response. I called bds. They couldn't answer my question without having the original wheelbase. I'm still trying to find the answer. Thx
