Overall Bronco Height? How tall are you?

[joshd1971bronco]

Hey guys,

I'm starting the build of my 76 Bronco Sport and thought of a simple question:

How tall is my rig going to be? Will it fit in my garage?

I'm planning on running a 3.5 inch suspension lift, 1 inch body lift, and 33-inch (advertised) tires. However, I may end up switching to 35's.

I did a search on 'overall height' and didn't turn up much.

So, can you guys share your vehicle specs (lift and tire size) and overall height?

Thanks!

Will it have a hard top on it?

Not sure of the exact height but mine has a 3-1/2" susp. lift + 2" body lift and 35" tires and mine fits under my 7' garage door with a few inches to spare. I also have a hardtop on mine.

 

[joshd1971bronco]

Yes, with hard top on.

However, if you're running topless and know the measurement to the top of say the windshield frame, I could take it from there.

My 76' has 35" BFG's, 3 1/2" suspension lift, with a 2" body lift. It measures 6'5" to the top of the STC soft top riser.

36" TSLs, 2 1/2" SL, 3"BL (yeah I know, not the best set up - I'll get to it...), glass tub (lighter, sits a little taller than steel) - 85" tall. Garage is 84" and the door hangs down an inch or so more. I can get it in the garage if I air down to about 18 psi and shove the door a little higher.

Mine clears my garage by about 1". Something I didn't take into consideration though, snow. If theres more than an inch of compacted snow in my driveway I'll hit the top of the garage. Put a nice scratch in my hardtop last summer trying to get out and play after 6" of snow fell the night before.

As long as you have a standard 7' garage door opening you'll be fine. I have a 5.5" lift on 36" TSLs with a soft top and I have about 1/4" clearance. The hard top had more clearance than the soft top, but I still barely fit.

I'm sitting at 76" with a hard top, 5" of suspension lift & 33" tires

Bout the same here, couple inches to spare, 7' garage, 33" All Terrains, 4 1/2 lift

3.5", 2.5" BL, 39.5 Iroks. fits in all the garages that its been put in.

36" TSLs, 2 1/2" SL, 3"BL (yeah I know, not the best set up - I'll get to it...), glass tub (lighter, sits a little taller than steel) - 85" tall. Garage is 84" and the door hangs down an inch or so more. I can get it in the garage if I air down to about 18 psi and shove the door a little higher.

Good point on the garage door. On occasion the opener is flaky and won't pull the bottom of the door past the opening. Have to look at it closely before I pull in.

My 67 is 6' 5" tall. It has 33" tires 3.5" suspension lift, 1" body lift and the hard top on. Mine may be a little low because my springs are old.

 

[Bronc76]

5.5" suspension, 36" swampers= 80" with hard top

Height

I have a 2.5" suspension lift, 1" body - and 33" tires. I wanted to go higher with my lift and tires - but didn't want to park outside ... I decided for a mostly street truck that it was plenty high with this combo.

With my softop I have less than 1" of clearance going into my garage. Keep in mind that the driveway is probably not level going up to the garage - so your truck will be entering at an angle. You can't just measure the height - you need to take into account the position of the truck as it enters the garage.

 

[72_EB]

'Bout 79 1/2" with 3.5 suspension, 2 body, and 35 BFGs. Ain't getting any closer with my old 7' door. She's threadin' the needle, but she fits without airing down.

 

[Hoochdog]

I have a 5.5" suspension lift, 2" body lift, and 37" MT's, overall height at about 85".

 

[bax]

37's w 3 1/2'' spring and 3'' body. it will not go into the 7' garage, no way.

 

[neonizagas]

5 1/2" suspension lift, 2" body lift, 35" swampers, 1/2 cab! I need to air down rear tires to barely fit with a 7' garage door. This is with new springs and no interior, gas tank or other normal weight.

 

[KyleQ]

5.5" Suspension, 37" Boggers, hard top and no body lift. Fits in the garage perfectly - about 3/4" to spare on the standard garage door height.

It's on dollies at this point, and my Dad is around 6'
