+I purchased that kit four years ago and have driven a mile around the neighbor hood and work. Could not tell you anything about ride or 37s I currently have 35s. Would like to change gears and go 37s someday. Nice quality, however there maybe a better way to go. 3" maybe all you need and then less issues with driveshaft angles. Single shock technologies are today more the latest in lifts with a coil over and 4 links for the rear.

I have a 2in body lift and the 3.5 sl with long arms, The bronco has more body roll on the street but off road it works great, I have 35s and they rub the front shocks when i turn all the way left or right but no big deal.. I put a 37 on to see if i would rub and i would alittle on the front inner fender where it meets the outer at front but nothing i cannot fix, ,also the rear with a 37 would rub just a touch at the back inner fender, again nothing that i cant fix with a little bending.. with 2in bl and 5.5 sl you will only have rubbing on the shocks in front when turned all the way but nothing major. Then again you half to account for your rims and the offset they have.. O and i have 2 shocks per corner and the ride is great.

Love mine, I have the 3.5 lift with 37s does have some body roll, but its not a slot car, so you cant drive it like one. The ride is smooth on the street
