Did the B2 come with a factory rear body spacer?

[outatime88]

Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but my B2 has a rear body spacer and I don't know if the previous owner installed it. They never made it a factory option right? I don't know much about lifting of any sort, and I wanted to remove it's because it giving a forward rake.

your pic didn't work

I would say if it is a roll pan instead of a rear bumper, take it off and see if the frame still has all the attachment points for a rear bumper and then grab a rear bumper off of a junkyard Ranger (including all mounting brackets and hardware) and you should be good to go.

Is the spacer you circled hard plastic? or rubber? rubber would be stock and plastic aftermarket. [in my experience]

Fixed pic. Not sure what you mean about a roll pan, the spacer is a body lift puck between frame and body near the rear axle.

I'll check again tomorrow, but I remember it feeling like rubber, or at least deteriorated rubber from age.

IIRC there is 10 spots where the body is connected to the frame. There is a rubber bushing between the body and the frame and another between the frame and end-nut. The end-nut has an integral wide washer.

I just took a look at rockauto and there is 10 body bushings. So you should see if the others are the same width. It could be that he replaced just the rear ones but that doesn't make sense to me.

That would be a factory body mount. Bronco II has four mounts in the back like that and the other six mounts look like normal regular cab body mounts in the front.

I would check the rest of the mounts for deterioration and check to see if the metal bracket has rusted causing the mount to sag

Ah ok, thanks for the help guys. Ya I see it on rockauto, but for now I guess I'll just leave it be since it's factory all though they are sagging a little.
