i dont' want to lift it because its perfect right now, it has a 2 inch lift in the rear because it was sagging to much and the front wheels had no pressure on them pulling a 7000lbs boat. I appreciate your comment of saying it looks nice also! thanks man, i want some more comments of some cosmetic changes,

oh didn't understand at first, your talking about the overhanging windsheild visor, yeah i was just thinking about maby getting one of those, i thought you were talking about the visor that goes on the inside, am i thinking of what you were thinking?

where is a good place to get those, and are they just bolt on items or do you weld them on?

i used a 95 block because it was the best deal i could find it was 1100 on ebay, but i dont recomend the company because they take for ever to process, and the crank was rusty. I like the Isky cam so far but it is not totally broke in yet so i am not sure of how it will turn out but so far i am happy. not sure of the lift right off hand but i will check when i get home, because i am in the middle of class right now!!

351Wb, I voted for the total P.O.S. (J/K) I mean Top Notch, your Bronco looks really clean and straight, and I'm an engine dude so I applaud the upgrade for more power!!! And yes, a lift kit with big tires looks mean and aggressive and can take you anywhere, but if you like the stock height and use the Bronco for a daily driver I say keep it that way. You'll be amazed at the offroad capability of the stock Bronco, plus have something more valuable than a modified trail rig like mine. I rode on 31" Pirelli Scorpions during the 2-year's time that the 84 Bronco was my only ride, JSM84

i already have 31" tires, and just ordered some rims that will hopefully be here by this weekend, pretty sweet. American Racing wheels, almost look like centerlines, but with some more stuff added to them, sweet stuff.

That engine looks cherry!! I personally like the look of a mild lift, but you ride is exceptionally clean! Mabey a bumper (not one that could moor the Queen Mary 2, but perhaps somthing to 'jazz the front end up). Good job!!

thanks man, i really appreciate all of these comments and advice on making it look better, i don't know how it stays so cherry clean. I am not afraid to drive it or anything, but its not an every day driver, just for hauling, and trips here and there to Home Depot, These things have insane amounts of traction. I came to a complete stop on a wet slick hill, Just floored it completely, i did not even hear the wheels try to squeeal. i would of been doing about 60 going up a 35MPH hill until the back seat (was folded up) cam slamming down and scared the living daylights out of me.. lol, i came to the top of the hill running about 6 grand, oh good times

Dude.

you need to put a 6inch lift and a nice set of 38" then that would look sweet...

But it does look good..you need to get a before and after on here.....

1982 ford bronco with 6inch lift and 3 inch body with a set of 35x15.50x15 super swampers TSL with a 3006 for a moter....

You did a super job on your Bronco. If it were mine I would want a 4" lift with 35s but since you tow with it it's safer to keep it stock. You'll be amazed were 31" tires will take a Bronco. I had a 93 F150 shortbed with 31s and when wheelin with my brother in his 95 Chev shortbed with a 4" lift and 33s about the time he was done I was just locking the hubs, man that emberasses a Chevy guy. Anyway good work, you should be proud.

would recomend putting 2 inch leveling coils in with one extra leaf keeps it pretty much stock hight but gives you room for the 33's and since you tow would also recomend air bags for the rear had 'em on my f-100 for that reason and it kept the truck riding like normal with a 5500 pound trailer going thru the back roads in the adirondack mountains
