To LUBR or not to LUBR? That is the question.

Should I lift or keep it stock

Photobucket isn't working for me currently or I'd post a picture of mine. I'll try back in the morning.

These pics aren't very good, but they show some of the clearances for what it is worth. (Still working on getting the aux tank and other stuff...) 2.5 plus 1 inch body.

i voted for the lift. i have a 3.5" on my LUBR with 33x10.50 bfg mt's and love the combo. i want to be able to take it on the trails though. i say if you're going for street cruiser only, the 2.5" lift with 31x10.50 would be a great setup to run.

Love the look of the 2.5 +1, but gotta vote for the stock. Unless off-road clearance is an issue, your rig looks great as she sits!

LUBER it by all means if you don't like it you can cut it latter, lots eaiser to cut it than put it back. Here's a pic of mine I took yesterday on day two of a 10 day wheeling vacation ;D

I am put a 2.5" lift on mine and probably going to run 31's (body is not back on frame yet...wll be in a week).
What size tires are you running currently? Unless you plan to take it on trails or anything, not much reason to lift it, an uncut looks great at stock height.
What color is your Bronco?

Tires:
235/75/15 BFG AT

I believe the color is:
D: Peacock Blue

I say lift it, but don't cut those fenders! mine's uncut with a very old (K Bar S I think) 2.5" lift, and I have 32x11.5s under it.

What lift and tire is on your bronco? What bumper is that on the rear? I love it, I have an uncut,3.5" lift and 31X9.50's, doesn't quite look as mean.

I debated this heavily as well when I gutted my suspension as to go LUBR or leave it stock height. I finally decided to go with the WH 2.5" suspension kit with no BL. I'm very pleased with it and it rides great.
