for a bronco II you should need 10 bolts, and around 6" long just to be sure. more than likely you could get away with 5", the bolts on my 3" body lift are 7". so if i were you id just get 12 (2 spares) 6" long bolts

just whatever you do make sure you have plenty of threads on the them in case 6 inches is to long.. why don't you pull a stock bolt and measure? just add an inch.

Bolts are inexpensive. Purchase the 6" and apply hacksaw where and if necessary. Better to have 6 too long, in need of trimming, than 6 too short, with a second trip for hardware.

Does one have to BUY a body lift kit, or can u simply piece it together with parts? I'd like to see about a 2" body lift on my ex, along with my 2" suspension lift.

I think I used 4 or 4 1//2" when I replaced my bushings (stock) so 5 inch should do, but I do remember needing 6" bolts for the very back ones so maybe 2 7" bolts for the very back.
