Should I lift or just leave her stock?

Lift it up! I went with a 2.5" suspension and 1" body lift to help avoid the possible issues you can run into with a straight 3.5" suspension lift. The body lift from WH's is well worth it. That extra inch when you're working under it really comes in handy.

I voted for keeping it stock, but it depends on what else you are planning on doing with it. If you are planning on leaving it fairly stock otherwise, I stick with my original vote. However, if you will be making further modifications taking it further and further away from stock, I'd probably say LUBR it.

I guess it would depend if you are planning on driving on terrain that will cause you to bottom out at the stock height. If it is a street driver, I don't see a need to lift it.

Would you mind posting a couple of photos of the after result from your truck? I am interested in more about the benefits of the 2.5" plus 1" bl.

Thank you guys for the input.

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?

Can I push you in the direction of a 2.5" lift with a deal on a complete Duff kit including rear springs?

Adarcy,

This is the first time I have seen your '70 to my recollection, she is a beauty!

My vote is a 2.5 or 3.5 and 31x10.50s!
