Do I Need Drop Radius Arm Brackets With A 4.5 Susp. Lift?

[asabadin]

I have my lift kit and am about to put it in with scott from american bronco. my question is will i need drop radius arm brackets? will 7 degree c bushings correct my angle enough? i also have a 1 inch body lift if it matters. open to suggestions if you cats have any ideas!!

Mine drives fine with 4 1/2 coils and 7* bushings. No real change from 3 1/2" coils. You probably already know you'll need a drop bracket for the track bar and a drop pitman arm. The bodylift makes no difference.

You'll never know until you drive it. QC was very poor back in the late '60s to mid '70s. Your Bronco may have come from the factory with less than adequate camber, or sometimes just barely enough. Too little was most common, but there's no way of knowing what you're going to get until you do it. Then you change things accordingly.

Cool. You should be covered then. But like SKUTTLEBUTT said, your mileage may vary. Long arms are on my list but it's fine for now.

I have a 5.5" lift and I am still running the stock brackets and stock radius arms...it drives fine, but it is killing my front flex, so I plan to upgrade to longer arms and new brackets. But if you aren't worried about front end flex you should be ok with the stock brackets.
