Bumper height

[kaw550]

On a stock bronco or one that has been leveled the same amount front and rear, is the bumper height the same?

Should the tub sides be level?

I am building a dolly to hold the tub and frame.

I only have the front end on the truck and one if the tires is flat.

Can't say for sure about the bumpers. We've discussed it a long time ago and I want to say they're roughly the same, but don't remember.
But as for the side molding and body line, yes, it's "fairly" level.

Unfortunately there is no "one size fits all" answer. Even from Ford some Broncos had a slight rake. Even stock, some sat higher in the rear than others.
There were spring package differences, weight differences for roadsters and pickups vs full top wagons, and the usual slight variations.

But if you're shooting for the level look, then you can indeed go by either the side body line, or the top flat surface of the bed rail where it meets the hard top. These surfaces will give you a good visual reference point.

This might help. It appears that the bumpers are level....

There are more diagrams here thanks to Steve83.

No, the lower Right side of this diagrams shows how far off they are, and you can use it to find all the locations of the body mounts:

So the drawing that Slowleak provided has line "O" going straight across both bumpers and the diagram Steve provided appears to be different heights.

I leveled the tub sides and found a 2" difference from front to rear. After looking at the first drawing I made the the front and back of the frame level but may need go back and make some changes.
