Lift Kit Measurement Help?
I'm buying a '90 full size Bronco with a lift kit and 35" tires. I'd like
to find out how much lift has been added, and the place I'm buying it from can't tell me. I saw on one of the Bronco sites that a minimum of 4" lift is needed for 35's. Is there a way to take a measurement to find how much lift has been added? Thanks, GregM |

I have installed 35" tires on two Broncos that I've owned, a 1987 and my current Bronco which is a 1993. I did both with a modest lift (from SkyJacker) which claims 1.5"-2" of lift. I also had the rear springs re-arched, I asked them to increase the lift by about 2" (I think they added a little more to allow for "settling" over time), I used the same springs on my '93, but I added two smaller leafs to the compliment. Anyway, if you want to know if there is a 4" (or 6") lift, you need to look for a "drop-down" bracket on the front end. The 4" and 6" lift use the same bracket, but they use different holes. The drop-down bracket should be rather obvious, a normal/stock Bronco does not have one. It will be in the center of the front axle and it is designed to relocate the left/right axles t o a higher/lower position (higher/lower depends on your point of view ;-). -- PapaRick /(Home) <or> /(Work) 1972 MGB (Blue/Black top), 1.8L inline 4-cyl engine 1996 Jaguar XJ6 (Black), w/4.0L inline 6cyl engine, 3.54 gears 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme International (w/3.1L engine) 1993 Bronco 351EFI E4OD/BW1356 D44-Ford8.8/open 2"-lift 35"-tires |
