there is a such thing as to high right?

[onewyr]

the reason I am asking is i currently have an '89 bronco II that has about 3 inches of lift and running 32x12.50 all terrain tires I also have another 4"'s of lift sitting in my shed that would allow me to run 35's. Between the 4" lift and what I am guessing would be about 1.5 inches of lift going to 35's= totaling 5.5" of lift will this be to high for such a short base vehicle like the broncoII? I need to know cause I am gonna sell the lift if it is gonna be to much. Am I gonna regret lifting my truck anymore

I use this truck for trail riding and such not just for looks

nah I wouldn't say its too high, though my personal opinion is a 6" suspension is much better than 4" + 3" body.

 

[onewyr]

sorry not 3" body I have explorer springs and 2" spaceres up front

 

[ZMan]

oh duh I misread that sorry. No thats definitely not too big!

I've got a 6" lift with a 3" body lift. The problem I have is side angles. I've been on the doors 3 times now. Mine is an Explorer so it's actually a little wider. Hope that helps.

 

[onewyr]

its no wider than my truck...........
I have an 8.8 and d35 from explorer in mine works great

I guess I should probably do build thread on my truck since I am starting to visit this forum more

Mine is just the opposite.

Too high on the suspension lift and you'll run into more hassles dealing with the steering geometry (increased tire wear & poor handling).
4" lift is the maximum height where available bolt-on parts can be used to fully 100% correct the angle of the steering linkage (otherwise you'll have to use a custom fabricated/modified linkage of some sort).
Additionally, a 4" susp + 2" BL will not raise the CoG quite as much as a full 6" susp. lift would.

I run a 2" bodylift + 3" suspension lift (which has creeped up closer to 4" now after a coilspring swap) and am fully happy with it's performance. Tires are 35x12.50s.
4' lift by itself is fine, although you will need to trim the fenders to fit a set of 35s (I would add the bodylift if you don't want to trim).


Hope that helps

Good info keep it coming

I have a 6" suspension lift on my B2 with messed up steering geometry. It is my wheeling truck, not my daily driver so I'm not concerned with the goofy steering. The short wheelbase on the B2 allows you very good maneuverability and good angles for climbing over obsticals. If my B2 was stolen or written off or whatever and I got to do it again, I would do a 4" suspension, 2" body.

 

[onewyr]

I think I may keep the 4" kit and when I install it go back to b2 leafs

 

[Capt Jay]

Don't use blocks in the back. Either lift springs or longer shackles. With taller blocks in the back you get some pretty sever axle wrap.

 

[onewyr]

I want a set of skyjacker leafs but we will se what happens I don't like blocks

Too high on the suspension lift and you'll run into more hassles

I run a 2" bodylift + 3" suspension lift

unless i'm reading your sig. wrong i bet it helps with the doubler and shorty rear driveshaft also.i've been meaning to ask how you delt with the doubler in such a short truck.
