A couple questions

[Ottieotter]

Hey all, Back with a few more questions regarding my '87 Bronco II.
I'm about done with repairs spanning from the truck sitting and being nearly 40 years old, and am moving onto modifying it. Recently got a set of 30"tires for it, and while they fit, the fronts rub when turning. Got looking into 1.5-2" lift kits, rough country only has a 1.5" leveling kit and a 4" lift kit, Broncograveyard currently only has 2" front pucks, I had bookmarked their 1.5" rear block kit but they don't seem to sell that anymore. It's showing as out of stock and has been removed from the 1-2" lift kits page. I can't seem to access the skyjacker website, it's popping up with a cloudflare error. I'm thinking about going with the 2" pucks if I can find a 1.5" or 2" rear block set, but want your guy's opinions.

Question 2: Would a 60/40 bench seat out of a 1g ranger bolt up? I currently just have the front buckets and they're a little worse for wear. I don't really care about rear seat access, I usually have them folded down with stuff on top of them.

Thanks yall!

Question 2: Would a 60/40 bench seat out of a 1g ranger bolt up?

If it is out of a pre-'91 I believe it would work; after '91 does not work

I am doing an 88 Ranger. I am getting ready to replace my front springs and want to go to a 31 inch tire. Front springs are not to bad of a price. Would new front springs do the trick?

Gotta be careful with springs, even the 2" can be difficult to get aligned afterward if your as unlucky as I am.

Why 91 on the 60/40 seats? I've seen the same style as late as 97, and the rails from the B2 can be bolted onto newer seats. I'm using buckets from an 01 Explorer on my 88 seat rails.

A little update on this:
Went with a 1.5", springs in the front and blocks in the rear. I have the parts, just haven't had the time to install them yet, will hopefully getting them installed within the next couple weeks.
Most recent work that I did to the truck was pulling the engine out and doing a partial reseal (oil pan, timing cover, intake, and injector seals/gaskets) along with cleaning the injectors, degreasing the engine and engine bay, fixing the HVAC box (once I got the engine out I found that the whole bottom of the area the evaporator core sits in was gone, fixed that with some stainless steel sheet, RTV, and rivets) and replacing the high-pressure fuel pump.
The pan gasket had basically turned into brittle plastic with how old it was. Took me about a half hour to get all of the old gasket off the block, and I had to drill out the gasket material in the "slots" on either side of the rear main seal area
