I made a post about this green 1987 bronco II a few weeks ago looking for lift help. Truck was running great, was about to put tires on it and put it on the road then the tranny decided to take a shit. I came across another super clean 1988 with 71k miles,all factory with working ac for a very good deal I could not pass up. I've got it on the road and have been driving it as my daily the truck is awesome I love it. The 1988 has the 3.45 gears, and the green 1987 has 55k original miles, has 4.10 limited slip and the axles are in great condition. I'm going to hold the green truck as a backup motor and spare parts if I ever need them and I was thinking of swapping the front and rear axles to my new one so I have the 4.10 gears to run 31s. I dont want to swap to a d35 or 8.8 i only want 4 inches and 31s. The green 1987 has a 6 inch lift mixed with rough country parts and others to get to 6 inches. I only want 4 inches of lift on my new one and instead of buying another lift kit, does it make sense to use everything from the 1987 to put onto my new one? The 1987 has 3 inch rough country leaf springs in the rear with block. I was going to take the blocks out of the rear and use the shocks and leaf springs with the axle and swap it onto my new one. The front i was going to use the extended brake lines, all of the drop brackets, and buy the sway drop brackets that I still need to get the proper angle. I was also going to buy new 4 inch coil springs from jeffs bronco graveyard to use instead of the 6 inch coil springs in it currently, and use the new rear drive shaft off the 1987 as well. I've already took the 30x9.5 tires off of the 1987 to drive around for now and it barely rubs when I turn out of my driveway lol. I figured i might as well take the 4.10 axles and use all of the parts from the green to achieve my 4 inch lift. I was also going to consider buying extended radius instead of using the drop brackets for those. Is there any problem with this plan or would it be no problem?
