1973 Bronco lift

[nebraskabronco73]

I want to take and lift my bronco 3.5 inches with a james duff lift to get bigger tires and better look to it. I also want to take and cut the fenders and add the ufo flares are there any ideas for me i am just getting ready to purchase the stuff.

You will get more for your money if you buy your lift from Cage, Wild Horses or BC. Cage designed the lift that Duff uses a couple of years ago and has since modified it and made it better.

Thanks for the web sites is it safe for the lift to go 5.5 inches rather than 3.5 are there any problems i might run into when just driving down the road and are there any other things i would have to buy other than the suspension parts

You don't have much to worry about w/ a 5.5 inch suspension lift if you get a good, complete kit from one of the venders mentioned above, other than extending break lines, e brake cable, drive shafts. 5.5 inch is a pretty big change. If I were you, and was about 6 months ago, I would look closely at the difference between 3.5 in versus 5.5 in lift kits and 33 inch tires versus 35 inch tires. Look at the different combos and do the one you really want, the first time. Personally I did 3.5 in w/ 33 inch tires and am completely satisfied. However I'm just an off roader, not a rock crawler.

if i was going to spend the money on the 3.5 and 33s id just go all the way with a 5.5 and 35s. you will have to spend some extra money on drive shafts and brake lines and such as stated above. but it would only come out to be an extra few hundred bucks....just my $.02

im gettin ready to lift mine 5.5 and get some 35s and sell my 33s.
