Looking for pictures of EBs with 2.5" and 3.5" suspension lifts. Please mention what lift you have in your post and tire size.
I thought there already was a thread about this but I couldnt locate it using the search. If someone can locate it, please post a link here and I will use that.
Anyways, I am trying to make a decision on which look I want to go after for my primarily street machine.
thanks in advance

Orange one is 2.5" lift with 33 x 12.50 tires on 15" x 8" wide rims
green one is 3.5" lift 1" body lift with 33 x12.50 tires on 15" x 8" wide rims
blue green one is 3.5" lift 1" body lift with 33x 12,50 tires on 15" x 10" wide rims

In the pic of all three trucks the blue green one dose not have the 1" body lift on and the orange one has old bald tires.

note the green ones suspension and bushings were all brand new with no miles.

Iwas struggling with the choice between 2 1/2 & 3 1/2 lift. I'm gonna run 33's so this is a helpful post. I think I'm leaning 2.5".

Pictures always help so much.

An important thing to note here .

Look at ep67pro's green bronco (3.5sl + 1 bl 33x12.5)

compare to 70EB's Sunset Orange Metallic Bronco ( same lift but 35's )

The thing that took me a long time to catch and it really changes the look of the Bronco is the height of the cut for the flares. Use the body line for a reference.
What I see are 35's that are not stuffing the wheel compared to the 33's , even though the trucks have the same lifts. I would imagine 70EB's bronco would not look quite right if had 33's on it , to my eye anyways , other guys love that look.

There are better examples of this if you look around.

By using the links below , i am able to pull both pics up at the same time , hope it works for you.

You are 100% right! My 33's, like REALLY STUFF with my 3 1/2 inch lift. I did some extensive interior fender cutting along with some SERIOUS rear flare cutting, but the thing flexes super nice for what it is.

I was even at a Bronco event a year ago and one fellow Bronco owner comented on the flex he observed I was getting on certain obstacles! Inside I was pretty happy that someone noticed enough to make a comment.
