Looks really good. You'll enjoy having the extra room when you wheel it.

I just put on BF Goodrich T/A, 32x11.50's. The lift, well that kinda up in the air. It looks like a block body lift in the back, to manage an uncut Bronco with the old 31x10.50's. There was about an inch and a half
between fender and tire. Very stiff in the rear. The front looks like a 2 1/2 inch coils since the back was lifted. My friends 3 1/2 inch lift is the same height as the back of my Bronco, but 1 1/2 lower in the front. Gotta love them PO upgrades. My winter project is to install a 2 1/2 lift with a one inch body lift.

Check your shackles, they're probably over-tightened, and that'll make the rear end silly stiff. Have someone compress teh rear end (step on teh bumper) and watch teh shackle, it should wiggle freely. Loosen the nuts until it moves freely


Safety Tip - I replaced the stock nuts with nylock nuts, so they don't come loose on their own, my junk flexes pretty good since then.
