Tips on moving rear axle back half to three quarters inch

[bmbm]

Yup, thanks Lars!


Most every link or part # I've typed today isn't working... like my brain today- bad cold as of this am.

If you need to rotate the rear yoke for pinion angle they have those also that allow you to move the axle to the rear

Thanks again. Pinion angle is usually a factor with high lifts? Don't have advanced knowledge/experience with suspension lifts. This is only the second Bronco I have owned and the other one was all stock suspension. I plan to have no more than 1.5" lift in back.

Yep, the Duff LUBR Lift Blocks.

Did you have to make any changes with shock length or driveshaft?

You "should" be ok with that minimal amount of lift w/o having to correct for pinion angle AND what will help with that angle is moving the axle back. Longer the distance btw the pinion yoke and the tcase yoke the better.

Someone here has lifted their EB 1.5" (within the past 25 yrs unlike me) and can give you a more definitive answer.

Partly due to aesthetics. I have always noticed how the tire is closer to the front fender opening and if springs will be replaced it should be fairly easy to move back at that time. So personal preference to some degree. Thank you.

Good point. I agree. Even the ones with cut fenders look like the axle is too far forward sometimes depending on the amount of lift.

Shocks, no - but I wasn’t so comfortable with the drive shaft so I did replace it. As is frequently said here, every Bronco is different… so your results may vary.

Good to know thanks. I have 1" lift blocks now with stock leafs that have probably sagged.
