Thinking bout lifting my bronco just a bit. Id really like to run some 33x12.5R15 Super swamper tires.

Im thinking of keeping it more economical and less of a handful to drive (I drive alot durring the winter for college) and this is my main source of transportation.

I dont do much off roading, no more mud just a trip or two to the sand dunes, truck did great stock but this is mostly for looks.

So i was on BGY and im looking at the 2 inch lift coils and the Alignment nuts, and now im wondering what to do with the rear? I dont want blocks, and they have add a leafs but they measure to a 3 31/2 inch total lift. Whats up with that? Will that still work?

I also plan on upgrading all 6 of my shocks to some off road style with the boots.

Unless your rear end is sagging, the two inch coils will simply level out your ride and the 33's will fit in the rear without a lift. They can also fit the front with no lift with just slight bumber modification. Either shimming it forward with washers at the mounting bolts or by trimming a little bit off the rear edges. Either method can be accomplished so that it is unoticeable unless you know to look for it. That might save you some money and will eliminate the need for the adjustable alignment bushings as the original geometry will be preserved.

Just my two cents. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (nice looking ride, by the way)

Ok, thanks alot for the help.

I plan on going with a 33x12.5R15 Super Swamper TSL Radial. I need a more beefy looking tire. I have the pre runner light bar and lights now, and those tires dont do my truck any justice.

Thanks, looks like your truck came a long way by the pics in your sig. Looks nice!

I'm going with a 4 inch lift kit soon, just going to drop the money and get the Skyjacker with new rear leaf springs and extended radius arms...the expensive kit. I want to do it once and not regret cutting corners later. I think you are headed in the right direction and those tires will look great. Make sure to post pics.
