Show me your stock suspension height EB with no body lift!

Only with stock height suspension and no body lift please. Big tires with those specs are welcome.

No big tires, just stock height.

I guess I should let ya'll know my plans... I have 33's, am doing a frame off Explorer 5.0 rebuild and am doing a WH stock suspension replacement. Was thinking of changing the radius arms to Duff's T Rex to help with rubbing but their tech support said too much caster for stock height

I don’t suppose your truck is still together? If so, simply take it down to an alignment shop and have them give you a readout. Don’t have them adjust anything, just a quick readout.
Find out where your caster is now, and see if there’s any such thing as too much caster, by simply adding an additional 4° from the T-Rex arms.
If you have, for example, only 2° of positive caster, then adding four more is going to be perfect. Not too much at all. Unless…
Are you going to continue running manual steering, or do you have power steering?

It’s hard to make blanket statements, such as this won’t work. Too many variations and variables on Broncos to do that anymore. Find out what you have, then find out if what you want will work.
If your truck is all apart already, you can’t check. The best solution for that then would be to put it all back together with the normal stuff (meaning stock radius arms), then get it measured.
Then you can make an informed decision as to whether or not to proceed with installing the different radius arms.

This is the 1970 sport I had.
Stock suspension no body lift cut rear fenders. front fenders have a little trimming by previous ower.
Tires were a 33x 10.5x 15 with a 15x8 rim.
Looked great and only had very minor rub at full lock .


Dam I miss this truck!

You said big tires were welcome

Everything works out to no lift and 37’s but there’s nothing stock lol

@DirtDonk. Yeah, my truck is all apart right now unfortunately so I'll have to wait.

Very nice. That's the stance mine will end up having as I have the same size tires. Thanks for the pics!

Sweet ride!

Here is a picture of the stock 75, I once owed. Picture was taken around 1984-86.

Yes, I took that this summer.

Some good pics, send more please.
Probably getting a stock lift suspension package and mounting 31" tires.
