so looking around on craigslist i found a 4 inch lift off a 1990 bronco 2 and decided to buy it.

it came with blocks for the rear, coils, ra drop brackets, and beam drop brackets for $150
i dont think i came out too bad.

so now i need to find a pitman arm and some shocks on the cheap too.
ive seen shocks for around $130 online and a drop pitman arm for about $80.
deffinately dont have $210 more to throw around.

so any ideas? :icon_confused:
or is my lift going to have to wait for more finacial motovation? :dunno:

For shocks, check out some on eBay called Skyjacker Scratch and Dent. They're in perfect working order; however they just have some sort of cosmetic blemish. But I think they're only like $25 a piece or something like that. That'll save a few bucks.

For the pitman arm, check out the TRS classified sections or put a post in the Wanted section, maybe someone has one on here that they'll sell for cheap.

If you are gonna be doing any wheeling with it you are gonna want some extended brake lines which can run $100+. But you can get the lines off 91 f350 and have to bend the metal tubes at the bottom but work fine.

yea I was planing on doing the lines that are in the tech library when I actually Start to wheel it. But just want it up a little higher for now.
