6" Lift - Bushing or Drop Bracket
#1
If i run 6"+ lift springs on my 79 Bronco and 7 degree c-bushings do i need radius arm drop brackets? Or should i run a lower degree c-bushing and the drop brackets?

Thanks

It realy depends on what type of wheeling you want to do. Lower degree bushings and radius drop brackets will give you the most flex and handle good on the highway. The only downfall is the brackets do hang down and can get caught on rocks. Just the 7 degree bushings will flex ok, not handle quiet as good on the highway, but wont get caught on rocks(its also a whole lot cheaper). Personaly I would only do the drop brackets with longer arms. just my 2c

It's a street truck with a couple of trips to the beach and that's it. I was thinking 4 degree with the drop brackets

I would go with that. I got the 6" with the drop brackets and 4 degree bush. Does great on the highway.
