I am definitely considering the 1” body lift. The suspension kit I am looking at comes with new front coil springs so I am interested to see how much lift it will be vs the original springs on it now.
You can measure your front and rear heights right now and have a very good idea of how much, if any, it has sagged and therefor how far up you will go.
Measure between the top of the axle tubes and the bottom of the frame rails at all four corners to see what you have. The "stock" dimensions are approximately 7" in front and 6" in the back.
Any less than that is how much you have sagged. But due to there being different options in not only spring capacities, but different tire designs and overall weights of Broncos originally, the numbers are only approximate.
If you are within a half an inch either way, at least it still gives you a point of reference.
Shipping on the suspension kits are $200 which I feel is too much.
Yep, rear springs are both large AND heavy.
Shocks aren't as large, but all four end up being pretty heavy.
Coil springs are not too large, or too heavy. But it still adds up.
Where are you located? That $200 sounds like a pretty average minimum for shipping a full suspension around the country, but if one of the vendors is closer to you then the price might be less.
Could be worth a few minutes spent on the phone with one of us too, rather than just relying on the online calculators, if that's what you did.
Variations might come down to only a few bucks, but sometimes it's substantial.
You just never know until you know!
