3" body lift and 2" spacers for '09 FSB
#18

How about new springs in front to balance front and back.

Thoughts?

It's not that the front sags, it's just how the Bronco was designed. Most lifts have a 2 inch difference between the front and rear (i.e. my front is 6 inch superlift, my rear are 4 inch BDS leafs).
I think you can use some kind of spacer up front to get a little lift, though I don't know how highly it is recommended. I also don't know how high you can go before you need to drop your axle pivot points and radius arm mounts.
Based on what you have written, I would say do the three inch body lift, put the 35's on, if the fenders require a little cutting, then do it, and run it that way. Then, if you still want to lift it, save up and invest in an actual suspension lift. Of course, you may find that after driving and wheeling the suspension lift, you want to do an SAS up front, and everything just rolls down hill from there.
