axle pivot drop brackets

[kingreinheimer]

i am really confused, im making my own lift kit from parts off other trucks so far so good till i remembered that my front axle is weird. this may be a dumb question but do i need a axle pivot drop bracket to lift the front? sas is not an option till summer and also how do i measure the lift that i got?

Is the search function broken? Yes? Oh, well in that case:



Well bro, they have 4" drop brackets or 6" drop brackets, it's your choice. How are you lifting it, and from what vehicles are you getting the parts?

Dont forget a drop pitman arm

well i would love to tell you where the front springs are from but idk, i was looking for springs at a-z junk yard and my spring compressor broke so i threw it and started walking back to my truck then i saw some brandnew lifted springs laying next to a bronco2 but they dont look like bronco2 springs at all. so i measured them to see if theyd fit and they will fit so i got them......i still need shock absorbers too

Yes.

Any amount if lift over "leveling" it out will need drop brackets (about 2.5").

That is the nature of TTB

you can also get 2" drop brackets, they're not as common, but i've seen them.

Sure about that?

He doesnt even know what springs he has and he didnt say what the measurements are. So how can you give him any advice on what he needs?

You can also cut and turn beams rather than use drop brackets.
