Help! Uncut lift/tire question

[scottshelley]

Okay, So I have an uncut 75 which will primarily see the street and some light offroad stuff. After looking around I am leaning toward a 2.5" lift with 31x10.5 on stock rims. I was thinking of going 3.5" but I don't want to mess with the drive line and I am trying to keep things looking close to stock. Any help/suggestions are much appreciated. Picture would help as well.

Thanks

Scott

A body lift will help out later down the road. I simple 1" or 2" will will be more that enuff for 31s.

I have a 2.5 SL and a 1 BL with 31x10.50 KM2s and they fit fine.

Keep in mind your rims and the backspace on them. If you run stock (15x5.5) then you are fine on 31s.

I regret not going with a 3" lift instead of a 2"

mine is uncut and wish it sat a little taller over the tires

here is mine with a 3.5 inch suspension on 32x11.50 15s on stock '90s ford truck rims. i also have a 2 inch body lift not installed yet. Carolina Driveline has the cheapest drive shafts around . Im looking for some for this bronco and I called them. For rebuilt shafts, its around $300 shipped to southern calif. Not too bad. A 3.5 lift , IMO , is the best way to go. It fits the uncut bronco accordingly and looks like it should have looked stock.

Very nice setup! Will you need a longer d/s with the body lift? 3.5" of SL is the max?

itsabronco, could you have gone 3.5 inch BL and obtained the same clearance? I'm using 1" BL now, but plan to go uncut, would like 33, but OK with 31' tires, will BL give you what you need instead of SL?
