Hi, my name is Clint and I live in N. Augusta, SC just near the SC/GA border. My family and I just moved here a few months ago from Greenville, SC and lived in Clemson, SC prior to G'vl. I recently acquired a 1990 White 4X4 full sized Bronco and I a am looking to lift it to fit larger tires. Might do some light off-roading but no major water emersion or flexing planned.
My three questions that follow are in regards to my body and spacer lift plans:
1) What is the boards opinion on this combo - 3" body lift + 2" spacers? (for an inexpensive lift for approx. 75% highway/25% light off-roading) I've heard I can do it but need to be careful (..no jumping or any high-impact wheeling) so not cause damage.
2) Will I be ok setting this on 35X12.50 tires if I trim/massage the fenders? Or is 33 the largest I can go?
3) What else will I need to do beyond stock to make this work? What other parts will I need to modify/add to put on the road with this lift and tire configuration. e.g. do I need a differential drop to protect cv joints? Will I need extended brake lines, shocks, etc.?
Thank you all for your comments,
I can't wait to get started on this project!
