stock lift? tires

[DarkWizard505]

hey, i got a 1990 ford bronco 5.8W eddie.

i got 31x10.5xR15

thry came with it when i bought it from some guy. Do broncos some with tho or must there be a small lift already. i looked around and i didnt see any aftermarket and i'm not sure if the truck is high enough to put them on right out of facotry.

i'm looking to get 4" lift and with the tire size it already has i'm concered i wont be lifting it, just replacing parts.

4" lift, getting 35x12.5

there is a reason its called a 4" lift. bronco's do not have a lift from the factory, although 31's arent stock size they can be put on with no ill effects. the largest tire you can run on stock suspension is a 33x10.50 for stock rims and no rubbing, 12.50 width for stock rims and slight rub at full steering lock.

Correct, the stock tire size is a P235 or some usd a P265, about 28/29" tall. The 31's will fit the stock suspension. If you plan to run 35's, look for a 6" lift or plan to trim the fenders and the bumper with just a 4" kit.

Better plan on going with the 6 inch lift or you'll still be messing with clearance. Your wheel offset choices wont be quite as critical either. You also better start saving for new gears, with 35s that 351 will feel like a 4 cyl.

ok got similar ideas i allready put a 2inch lift (suspension front coil and rear leaf)

under my truck last year am looking to replace my tires after the snow stops and might be replacing the body mounts and rad core support what is the tallest tire i should go without a body lift or with a mild (like 2") bod lift and also what should i run for ring gears to keep the engine from grenading on the thruway and lastly is there a way to know which speedo geer ya need or is it drive it to find the differance and then go get it?

sorry i type like a third grader on crack so spelling and grammer **** keyboards and me dont get along very well
