Yesterday, I finished up my 3.5" Duff's lift in my 75. It had an old school 2.5" lift in from the previous owner that I removed. Anyway, after the lift it sits VERY nose up. I ended up with exactly 3.5" of lift in the rear, but 4.5+ inched in the front. Actually its odd, as I am running a 351C and protofab bumpers ( no winch). I expected possibly the other issue. I am going to drive it a week or so and see if the coils settle in at all. I doubt they will that much but maybe....
I could add a 1" block to the rear and that would correct the stance, but then I am looking at a whole bunch of other issues to deal with like drive shaft length and caster due to the added lift height.
One thought I had was to cut the coil down a bit. I did this quite successfully when I built a 67 Mustang a few years ago. It sat very nose up, so I cut 1/4 of a coil off at a time until I got the right height. Anyone do this on a bronco?
My other option is to pull the Wild Horses coils out of my trail Bronco and see how they sit. I can always sell the Duff's coils.
Thoughts?
