new guy needs suspension help

[semprbronc]

Hello all, this is my first posting, so bear with me. I FINALLY bought my first Bronco, and am ready to start playing with it. I would like to run 33" tires. The fenders have been cut, so my question is...Will a 2 1/2" lift work, or should I go w/ 3 1/2? I live in De, (no hills,rocks,or trails) I will be using it for driving on the beach/road only. Articulation is pretty much a non-issue for me. Any advice that you can give will be GREATLY appreciated.

I have 33's and no lift right now.

Go with the 3 1/2 or 2 1/2 and 1 body.

Plus, you'll only be happy with 33's for a while......

I have a set of what I believe to be superlift 3 1/2" springs I pulled this summer. They're just taking up space in the garage now. I could sell them to you for shipping and a bit more.. The're in perfect shape just need to be cleaned up. I went with the bc broncos 3 1/2" leafs and springs when I put the new body mounts in.

Do the lift and do the suspension right as you have fun working on your eb. Even though you live on the flat lands, you're goning to end up somewhere with your eb where you're glad that you have the lift and suspension. Plus, it looks better with the 35s you're going to put on it someday. Have fun

Thank you all for your input. I think I will go with the 3 1/2. Yellow75, I would definately be interested in those springs, send me an email w/ the details... I guess my only other question (for now...) is how much of a difference are the 10 or 11 leaf springs over the 5 or 6 that Tom's bronco parts sells? Are they stiffer or softer? Are the 5or6 leafs more prone to sagging? O.K. that was 3 questions. Sorry...
