Gentleman... I'm finally going to build the lubr bronco that I've always wanted. Going to paint this 76 that I picked up last week dark grey with satin black ranger stripes and the top painted satin black. Going to keep my stock wheels. No chrome except vent windows, door handles, antenna and mirror.
Here's where I need some input from you guys. The bronco has 3.50 gears. I'm committing to not cut or trim the fenders. I want to lift this bad boy but I really want this thing to handle like a champ. I'm currently thinking of putting a 3.5 lift on it with no body lift. I want this bronco to look bad ass but with the gearing I don't feel like I can go over a 32" tire. Crawdad told me earlier today that a 32x9.5x15 tire would work but again I'm not sure that's going to fill the front wheel well enough for me to be satisfied. The last one I built (pictures below) had a 5.5 lift and I love the way it set up but it drove like crap over 50mph. It had 33" tires with 17" wheels.
Any suggestions on recommend lift, kind of lift, changes to the 76 inverted Y front end, etc...? Again my biggest concerns are look and comfort while driving. I do not want to have to wrangle the bronco at the sacrifice of looks.
Thank you all in advance!
