Custom Suspension question

[Bronco_Willis]

I have been reading about the different suspension set ups for different tire sizes in the forums here. Currently on my 87 bronco I have a 3" body with 33" tires. I want to upgrade to a 38" tire and most likely run 1 ton running gear to be safe. Does anybody know of any websites or other parts of this website where I can learn more about different suspension systems?

i think there was a site called zen bronco. i lost all my links in my comp crash but let me see what i can dig up. but basically if you are going over a few inches suspension lift you either need to relocated your TTB stuff but driving 38" tires i would just suggest a solid axle swap up front. Are you doing this just for looks or do you want to take this thing off road?

if its just for looks you can probably get away with stock axles but if you are going to be off roading it you will need to do some upgrading of axle shafts and ujoints at the bare minimum.

for parts you have rockymountainsuspension.com

truckn.com

djm.com (i think)
