what's your plans? rocks or mud? size of tire you want?

mostly mud. want 34 tires. i been messing around with the bronco cutting fenders i got no front bumper i just put a push bumper on it. mostly im looking for ideas. anything will help

i have the rough country 4 inch, it's okay for me. i've had it in mud and rocks... won't fit 34's unless you have cut the fenders alot... the james duff kit is nice but pricey. if its just for mud, i wouldn't worry much about extended radius arms or just make your own. do a lot of searching around on here and the tech library. you'll fall in love with this site

6in skyjacker and hack your fenders up, Your gunna have to swap in a d35 and a 8.8 causeyou will snap the 28 and 7.5 like twigs

thanks dude.

My advice is to cut your fenders and leave it stock height. Coil spacers in the front and blocks in the rear will be the easiest, or a body lift.

I abused the shit out of my D28/7.5 in the rocks and never once broke a part... I did destroy two D28 hubs though but it was a 6000rpm romp through a snow drift with the wheels cranked full lock in my old tough truck. Anything would have broken in that situation.

i've broke 2 d28 axle shafts, but it's b/c my spotter got me in a rough situation long story... its all good tho. i recommend upgrading when something breaks. till then drive the 7.5/d28 combo. main reason i'm replacing mine is i bought an ex for motor and all so i already have it and my 7.5 needs some work. so why not? lol.

cut the fenders, and do a coil booster and blocks or add a leafs. see if that works for it? that's the cheapest way out.

lol i just put spacers in the front, that was fun, how long should it take to put and add a leaf in for someone that has not done it

honestly i'd rather do the rear than the front lol... i did my add a leaf in about 20 mins per side... then 20 mins per side again b/c i added to many leafs

i did a write up on aal's

i'd go with duff 3" best kit for your money, or go with the new 5.5"

u can go 3" and do a 2" body lift and run 33's

Did your AAL give you 3" in the rear?

Were your springs sagging prior to the lift?

How does it ride now compared to before?

how much lift did you get? probably your driveshaft.. do you still have the cv driveshaft or u joint style.
