Now I want to measure every Bronco I come across

Very nice work on yours Jaromy!

Mine right now is sitting at 56" with 3.5" CAGE lift, 2" body lift and 37" BFG KM2's...might change a little when I redo my leaf spring pads and coil buckets. Sub-54" looks like it might take some effort ;D

I think I'm going to take mine down to 3" suspension lift and that will be about 5" up-travel and about 5.5" chrome showing at ride height. I'll see how that handles and then make changes if needed. That will put me at 53.5" at the top of the door post. Any more than that and I'm sure I'll be sacrificing ride quality with the struts.

Using the forklift at CBM Design's to get the flares installed. I knew I had more to cut before I could get the flares and rock sliders installed and this was the best method of checking the clearance between the tire and fender. I couldn't max it out because the tire was getting into the fender.

With reported body weight of a Bronco somewhere less than 600#'s or so...I'm an adamant proponent of low COG (center of gravity) and using body lift compared to suspension lift to clear tires, tranny's/transfer case, rear 4 link brackets, stuff the gas tank up higher, etc.... stuff in taller EFI intakes, taller radiators, etc
COG is helpful in attaining good numbers for 4 link designs (on paper) but more important, it keeps you on your tires instead of "other" possibilities!
I run the equiv of a 2 1/2" suspension lift with 6" of up travel with a D60 but have 3" of body lift w/ 40"s... I'll go measure but with 1 1/2" more radius for tire than w/37"s and probably 2" more for body lift than most...you'll have to spot me 3 1/2" !

Thanks, Duffy! I'm hoping to get into some deeper snow this weekend.

Let me know when your trip is planned ;D
Thinking Moab in mid/late April. Mrs Yeller is bugging me to go I just need to make that accommodation, as sad as it will make me;D
I'd go for the Safari but have family obligations that prevent it that week. Not as far west as you fella's but I'd sure like to take the time, life is just in the way at the moment.
