Is it going to give me any lift?

So I just picked up my axles for D35/8.8 swap on my Bronco II. The truck currently has a spacer lift that got it about 2in total (2.5" front, 2" block in the rear), it fits 31's fine and even has a little extra room. I've got 32's that I want to put under it, but I'm thinking I'm going to need a little more room for those.

The point is, the guy gave me the D35 with the 93 4.0 ranger springs still attached. With my spacers, are these good for any more lift on my lighter Bronco II? Maybe an inch? I'm trying to keep this as budget friendly as possible. I've had no issues with the spacer lift and suspension flex/durability, I just need more clearance.

My other Idea was to get a set of 1.5" leveling coils and go with a 3" to 3.5" block in the rear. Maybe 2" coils and a 4" block...

Thoughts?

Well, I decided to go with the 1.5" leveling springs and a 3.5" block. I figure I already know where I'm at with the spacers, and if I add an additional 1.5" front and rear equally, I'll stay level and have approx. 3.5-4" of lift.

Did you also use your lift blocks under your 1.5 lift coils? And also how much did you gain with the 1.5 springs?

Not enough. With 2.5 inch spacers and 1.5 inch springs, I only got maybe 3inches of total lift in the front. They honestly wern't much better than my stock front springs. There are pics of the results in my build thread. I ended up running a 3.5 rear block, and skyjacker 4 in front coils with a 1 in spacer in the end.

Around that, it would be fine for clearing 31s, 32s with trimming. If thats the route you want to go, I would recommend setting up the front suspension first, and then blocking the back to match. Definately get axle drop brackets though, they can be had for about $120, and are totally worth it for the frustration they save.
