Need 1" lift

[panteramatt]

Im looking to lift my 74 around 1". Already has a 1" body lift. Can i just put the wild horses 1.5" coil springs in the front with no other mods then throw a 1" block in the rear? Street driven truck

Give WildHorses a call and ask them what they would suggest.

If you don’t need precisely 1 inch, and can handle one and a half inches, that would definitely be a good way to go.
You can fine tune the rear to your satisfaction that way as well. If I 1 inch block isn’t just right, or one and a half, you can have one made pretty easily I would think.
Although, these days there are probably every increment available online! As long as you don’t buy cheap, or aluminum.
Depending upon your engine and gearing, tire size (and weight of your right foot!), you may or may not need some traction enhancing device or another.
We have our wrap trap at WH as a cure for that issue, if it crops up.
If you’re not too hard on your gas pedal, it probably won’t be necessary.

Yea looks like Im gonna go with WH 1.5" lift kit. How are the WH brand shocks compared to the bilsteins for a 100% street driven bronco

Duff's 70/30 Auto Adjusts have worked well for me... mostly street driven with a 2-1/2" lift.

Shocks are such a personal choice!
Add to the list of the other three, Rancho RS9000’s.
Not to mention the upper echelon shocks from Bilstein, Fox, and others.
Some are too soft, some are too stiff, some are just right. Over the years I’ve used a veritable plethora of shocks.
My favorites so far are the Bilsteins. So far…
But plenty of members here have felt they’re too soft. Depends on the application (front or rear) and the suspension and the driving style. Not to mention the Driver’s personal preferences.
I like mine.
Probably would still go with duals on the front for my driving characteristics, but that might end up being overkill.
So far I’m happy with the Bilstein 5100’s.

I ran a new TBP stock suspension from the PO and installed 1" body lift + 1" spacer in the rear, and it was basically level...maybe a tad high in the back when empty. Then went with WH 2.5" SL with Bilsteins and love it. I vote Bilsteins 5100
