Hey guys
Our 76 bronco rides like a metal wagon with plastic wheels. Every little bump in the road and the truck sounds like it's going to fall apart and the fillings are going to fall out of my teeth.
I'm looking into bilstein shocks to replace the ranchos in there. We bought the truck as it sits and I have been working on stuff here and there to get it reliable
All i was told about the suspension is this: 3" suspension lift with rancho shocks and 2" body lift.
What I've seen is it does not have rear lift blocks but instead a 10 leaf pack (give or take a couple I never counted.)
15" wheels with 35" tires set to 30psi
Those who have switched to bilsteins .... Is it a HUGE difference? Or am I going to be forced to get new coil springs and leaf springs as well to correct this ride?
