Bronco II Suspension Check

[TexPace]

After hours of reading, I would like someone to review my suspension idea and make sure I am not leaving anything out. Would the following combo be acceptable and would I be able to get it within acceptable alignment:

1987 Bronco II 4x4
Explorer coils with 1.5" - 2" coil spacer
Explorer leaf springs with Belltech 6400 / Autozone 6100 shackles
New shocks

The main use out of this suspension would be to be slightly raised, street use, and occasional old logging trail roads.

Dont forget adjustable alignment bushings.
I did the F150 spring seat spacer lift . If i remember correctly they measured about 1.25 inch.
I tried Explorer/4.0 ranger coils but they looked like \----/ and would not alighn with the bushings i have.
So went with new factory replacement BII coils.
They ride better also with a 2.9L.
I also used Explorer rear springs and the 6400 shackles on the max lift bolt holes. Very nice setup compared to the bouncy and saggy old BII leaf springs.
If i was to do it again i would just get the 1.5 lift springs and bushings.
I also used factory F150 shocks for the needed travel all around . You will need to change the lower bolt to a larger size front and rear.
I also used a drop pitman arm.

Depending on how much lift you get out of the coil+spacers you will need drop brackets for the ttb arms otherwise wou will not get aligned and have horrible steering issues your goal with any lift is level steering with the axle
